Enjoy Fall Activities At Lucy The Elephant in Margate

Lucy the Elephant stands 6 stories high and is one of the oldest roadside tourist attractions in the country. So, get ready to grab the family, enjoy some fall fun by the beach, and celebrate one of New Jersey's most recognizable landmarks.

It's one of those places that brings back so many childhood memories, along with the memories of taking my own kids there and watching their faces light up when they saw Lucy for the first time.

Now, the idea of hayrides and pumpkin picking on the beach with Lucy watching over adds a whole new layer of fun and excitement! The kids are going to love it!
