The 5 Best Kept Shore Local Secrets

Don't worry, I'm not giving out any specific secrets, I'm just going to talk about those things that we, the locals know, but keep to ourselves. Take a look at the Top 5 Best Kept Shore Local Secrets, and add some of yours in the comments below!

The Best Places To Park
Parking at the beach in the middle of summer can not only be a hassle, but it can get really expensive. From meters to lots that get exponentially more expensive during the weekend, knowing where to park cheap (or even free) is key. And us locals know where those places are. And you can bet we're not telling

The Best Shortcuts To Avoid Traffic
While out of towners are making the Southbound trek to the shore on Friday or clogging the Northbound arteries on Sunday, a prospect like just running out to the mall can turn into a day long project. So what do we do? We take shortcuts. Or even back roads that would take longer on a normal day, but still takes us around the main roadways.

The Best Places To Eat
When a visitor asks what the best restaurants are, there are the good restaurants that we're happy to talk about, and the really good ones that we want to keep to ourselves. There are those places that you've all seen on TV, and they're fine, and then there are the places that an out of towner would never think to step foot in. And that's the way we'd prefer to keep it.

The Best Beaches
We have a lot of really good beaches. But, as a side effect, we also have a lot of really crowded beaches. But Ocean County isn't just the main two of Seaside Heights and Point Pleasant Beach, there are lots of places to grab a patch of sand and enjoy a nice, and even quiet, sunny Summer day with friends or family.

Where To Go When The Weather Turns
There are few things worse on vacation when the weather gets crummy and ruins outdoor time. Usually, visitors head right to the closest mall. But there are plenty of other options nearby when the weather keeps us indoors. So what are they? Ask a local really nicely and maybe they'll tell you a few.
