Living in Ocean County, it’s easy to take the beach and boardwalk for granted. But there’s one relaxing ride you might’ve overlooked.

If you haven’t tried THIS yet, make this the summer you do. In fact, don’t stop at once. Go a few times. It’s that good.

A Relaxing Escape Above the Jersey Shore

Perched high above Seaside Heights Beach, the Sky Ride is peaceful, scenic, and surprisingly nostalgic.

Why the Sky Ride Is a Timeless Summer Classic

After a sun-soaked day on the sand or walking the boards, take a break from the crowds and float through the salty breeze. Your feet dangle over the beach as you glide past beachgoers, waves, and the hustle of the boardwalk below. The views? Absolutely stunning.
