LONG BRANCH NEW JERSEY

There are a lot of Jersey Shore roads, but these are definitely among the most avoided in our area.

I know we’re still on the spooky season vibe but prep for a winter wonderland is underway! I just love ice skating and if you want to skate by the sea it’s all about my favorite shore spot, Long Branch!

Organizers behind the pop party that brought 5 thousand extra people to Pier Village in Long Branch, New Jersey last Saturday, have been busted. They may not be the only ones held responsible either.

Another New Jersey beach, this one in Monmouth County, made it on a really short list of stunning beaches in America.

This is a BOLD statement. My family has done more ice cream-eating research than is doctor recommended, that's for sure and we found something special. Now of course you have a nostalgic ice cream spot (we all have them) that's part of your childhood, I get that. We also have the "trendy ice cream" treats (remember Dippin' Dots?!?! ewww)...but this new find is everything...I'm talking high quality ice cream, fresh out of the oven baked cookies and toppings of your choice to make CUSTOM ice cream sandwiches as big as your face. We've come to a very serious conclusion in my family. The best ice cream spot is in Monmouth County...have you been here yet?!?!?

Long Branch has long been a favorite spot for my family and friends to meet up and make some memories. It has had such a glow-up in the past couple of years yet I feel like it still doesn't get it's props. I told someone that is where we were hanging out for Father's Day and I got an eyebrow raise. Really?!? I freaking LOVE it there. Here are just a few reasons you should too!
