The New Jersey Boardwalks
We all love or loved the Asbury Park Boardwalk. From the early 80's to just last year (let's use 25 years), the boardwalk just sat. Sat empty on hot summer days and nights. A Ghost town.
Even the new redevelopment effort had and has critics. Not only was the boardwalk empty, so was the downtown - Cookman Avenue.
Over the past several years, new merchants came to Cookman Avenue. Now, you have to find parking to eat in one of the many restaraunts. Take your pick, your sure to find a great meal.
Now, what about "other" boardwalks in New Jersey and what do they have to offer?
We will start our journey in Keansburg - the Keansburg Amusement Park and work our down to Cape May. We'll use the official 127 miles of the "Jersey Shore" and explore what each "boardwalk" town has to offer. From peace and quiet to the traditional boardwalk many of us grew up with. How long will these remain?
How many traditons have survived?
Keansburg, Long Branch, Allenhurst, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Bradley Beach, Avon, Belmar, Spring Lake, Sea Girt, Manasquan, Point Pleasant, Seaside, Atlantic City, Ocean City, Wildwood and Cape May.
Follow us as we begin our tour and stay tuned as we update it.
