NJ’s Got Free Beaches For Labor Day Weekend
New Jersey's beaches are famous for their beauty and charm, making them some of the most sought-after spots for summer fun. Stretching along the entire coastline, awaits shoobies and locals alike are the beautiful shores with golden sands and picturesque views up and down.
South Jersey, in particular, is known for its fantastic beach towns that offer the perfect blend of relaxation and family-friendly activities.

Plus, the small-town atmosphere makes it easy for families to enjoy quality time together. With gorgeous beaches and a welcoming vibe, South Jersey really shines as a great destination for a summer getaway.
The beach towns in New Jersey aren't exactly thought to be budget-friendly, though.
As you can imagine, the demand for time at the Jersey shore.during the peak summer months is really high this time of year. That means prices for things like accommodations, food, and parking can skyrocket. Since rentals close to the shore are in high demand, they often come with a pretty hefty price tag. Not to mention the fact that the cost of living in New Jersey is generally higher than many other states, which can make everything from hotel rates to dining out more expensive.
If you want to enjoy some of the fun activities or attractions at the beach, like amusement parks or special events, those can add up quickly too. So while a beach vacation here in NJ can be a fantastic experience, it’s a good idea to plan ahead and budget for these extra costs to make the most of your trip.
