In a recent article by Travel Awaits they picked out 7 Jersey towns that they considered "quaint" or maybe "charming" could be the word, but you get the type of description they were going for. Out of the 7 towns, 4 of them are right here in Ocean and Monmouth Counties.

So I decided to focus on the "4" we have here in Ocean-Monmouth and some photos from the locations. It's very cool that the majority of the 7 towns are here in Ocean and Monmouth Counties. So let's take a look at the "4" beginning with Ocean County.

Barnegat Light - Long Beach Island

Home to the famous Barnegat Light aka "Old Barney" the town also features several fun shops and great eateries to dine at as well. Definitely a quaint little town on the northernmost end of Long Beach Island.
