The Jersey Shore, our most treasured asset, the envy of forty-nine other
states, comes alive in this new book by the reporter and writer who
knows New Jersey--and the Jersey Shore--best. Every conceivable
topic--where to eat, where to stay, landmarks and attractions, what to
do with the kids--is covered with the kind of inside information you
just won't find on tourism web sites or Facebook. All one hundred-plus
Shore towns are included, from Sandy Hook to Cape May. There are
hundreds of restaurant listings and recommendations. The book also
contains engaging profiles and vignettes of the people and places that
give the Shore its special character and charm. A throwback
five-and-dime store on Long Beach Island. Banner pilots. Birders. Baby
parades. And more. You want lists and rankings? The book is full of
them--twenty best Shore towns, twenty-one secret spots down the Shore,
twenty essential Jersey Shore experiences, fifty things we bet you
didn't know about the Shore, and so on. The book is the next best thing
to being at the Shore; actually, it may be better than being there
(think of those epic traffic jams on the Parkway, and all the money
you'll save on tolls, beach fees, and bad boardwalk pizza).
