Still Time For Plenty Of Summer Fun At The Shore

Many consider summer at the Jersey Shore to be the 100 days from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day. Well if that’s the case then Monday is the halfway point and while not looking to be a downer before you know it the end will be closer than the beginning. During the winter when it was cold and dark some of you promised that this would be the summer to enjoy many of the things the Jersey Shore has to offer. Well what are you waiting for, the clock is still ticking but there is time to:

Catch a Jersey Shore BlueClaws game. They have four more week-long home stands between now and Labor Day weekend including the Mets affiliate the week of August 1^st.

Spend a weekend afternoon at Monmouth Park which remains one of America’s truly great homes for thoroughbred racing. There is live racing every Friday, Saturday and Sunday and the $1 million Haskell Stakes is coming up on July 22^nd.

Go fly a kite! Every Wednesday through August 23^rd the Borough of Seaside Park hosts Kite Night on the O Street Beach at 5pm. It’s a great family event and afterwards you can stay a bit longer and watch the weekly fireworks show in Seaside Heights. Or you can take a stroll on the boardwalk and eat to your hearts content at one of the dozens of food options available. Of course you want to finish up with ice cream from Kohr’s…can I suggest the orange cream? Burn some of those calories by playing 18 holes at Smuggler’s Quay Adventure Golf…one of my favorites.

Take a ride to LBI and make sure you stop at “Chicken or the Egg” for their famous wings…by the way sound local by calling it CHEGG. Combine that with visits to Thundering Surf Waterpark and Fantasy Island and you’ve got a full day.

Enjoy a day and night on the beach and boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach and take advantage of all the offerings Jenkinson’s has.

Find any spot where you can sit outside, sip a cocktail and have a bite to eat. If it’s hot look for some shade but remember come later in the fall you will have wish you did.

That’s a long list of things to do but you still have a few weeks so give it a shot!
