This NJ town was ranked a top ‘momcation’ spot for Mother’s Day 

Maybe a mom wants a little more than cold, poorly made coffee in bed and handmade noodle necklaces for Mother’s Day this year. Those are sweet, don’t get me wrong. But what if Mom got to go on a momcation?

With searches for “Mother’s Day ideas” up 587% this month (yes, really!), this might be an idea whose time has come. That’s where a certain New Jersey shore town comes in.

SIXT.com used Google Trends to analyze search terms related to Mother’s Day to determine the best places in the country to take a ‘momcation.’

Asbury Park, New Jersey, came in at No. 19 on SIXT’s list of top U.S. "momcation" spots, and honestly, it could be the low-key coastal escape we didn’t know we needed.

First of all, there’s that Asbury Park “chill but still fun” energy.

The boardwalk? Artsy and eclectic.

The beach? Mwah! Chef’s kiss.

Oceanfront paradise. The noise level? A soothing 65 decibels. That’s quieter than your screaming kids.

Just sayin’.

Asbury Park is no stranger to the social media spotlight. It’s racked up over 413,000 TikTok views thanks to its vintage shops, seaside murals, and seriously photogenic hotel lobbies.

Here’s what an Asbury momcation could look like:

☕ Morning beach walk, coffee in hand, of course.

Brunch somewhere with avocado toast and a solid mimosa menu. Or shall we call that a momosa?

️ Exploring vintage boutiques and art galleries downtown.

♋ A fun psychic reading from Madame Marie’s booth

And maybe, just maybe, catching some live music at The Stone Pony to remind yourself that yes, you can still party like the rockstar you are. Be bad. Treat yourself.

It’s actually pretty cool that of all options in this country, a momcation in Asbury Park was ranked No. 19. That even beat out Las Vegas, which was No. 20.

In case you’re wondering Sedona, Arizona was ranked No. 1. Oh, sure, if you want a scorpion ruining your momcation.
