My Perfect New Jersey Day

Get me to the beach - I'd start the day with a gorgeous sunrise at the beach. A perfect spot would be Asbury Park near Convention Hall.

A daytime stroll on the boardwalk - After an early day in Asbury Park, I'd spend the afternoon strolling on Jenkinson's Boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach for the rides, the games, and the fun.

A beautiful dinner - I'd end the day with a great dinner at an awesome restaurant like Scarborough Fair in Sea Girt or The Shrimp Box in Point Pleasant Beach.

The experts had a different approach, and I wanted to share that with you, too. Here's what Moon Travel Guides said are three great things to do in New Jersey.
