Sip frozen drinks either inside the bar or outside in the sand. There's a band on Sundays and it's just a great, relaxing way to unwind.

Bar/Restaurant
Live music and cool vibes! Their menu has fun and interesting choices...check out their menu and entertainment schedule on their website. And it's only a few blocks away, so you can walk. By far, Drifters is one of my favorite new spots with a great crowd.

Who doesn't love a giant Sawmill pizza? If you've never had one, they're HUGE and it's right up the street.

Fresh and delicious seafood. The absolute best lobster bisque and crab bisque. During the summer weekends, expect a wait or try to avoid long wait times and go during the week. Not fancy, but very good.

Island Beach State Park is a hidden gem. There is a cost to enter-and it fills up early then no more cars can enter. Weekdays are best to avoid crowds. So pretty-and if you go all the way to the southern tip, you can see the Barnegat Light House in Long Beach Island. Also a great place for bird watchers.
