WHAT TO DO?
If you have never been to South Seaside Park, you are in for a treat! Not to be mistaken for Seaside Heights, which is a fun party town on the boardwalk, South Seaside Park is a peaceful, quiet retreat, especially in our spot where your view stretches for miles! We are close enough to the action if you would like to enjoy it. We are about a mile from the boardwalk rides at Seaside easy to walk the beach, bike or drive and enjoy the boardwalk fries and Kohrs ice cream. Or park your car in your private spot at our condo and don’t move it at all during your stay because everything you need is within walking distance.
You can rent bikes a few blocks away, ride to lunch or into the state park, fish on the bayside pier ( the state Marina is right at the end of our block) you have Ocean on our end and bay on the other end, walk the ocean beach all the way down to the end of island beach state park to see the lighthouse (so beautiful in the morning when no one is there), rent a boat or wave-runner for the day, go to the Seaside boardwalk and enjoys rides and games, rent a scooter and explore the island, check out Mike’s Restaurant across the street for great cocktails and dinner with an ocean view (live music on weekends). We have a storage room off the lobby to store your bikes, or there is a bike rack across the street.
If seafood is your thing, walk a block to Bum Roger’s for crabs and lobster or right next door there is Berkley Steakhouse and across the street Alfresco’s for an Italian bite or step back in time and have a great breakfast or lunch at the counter at Betty and Nick’s luncheonette. Go to the shops in Lavallette (there is a great coffee shop Lava Java and many restaurants to chose from, we like Channel Marker to sit right out on the bay, it’s BYOB). Park Bakery is AMAZING, there is a line in the morning, but it’s worth it! Try their donuts or coffee cake! OR just sit back relax and enjoy that view from our beach or deck, we have provided plenty of menus for delivery, Target delivers as well. You won’t find a better view anyplace on the island - all you will hear is the crashing of the waves and a seagull or two.
The entrance to Island Beach State Park is about six houses away. You can bike the park, bring a kayak to the State Park Marina Boat launch, or if you have an Island Beach State Park Mobile Sport Fishing Permit, you may enter there to drive your vehicle onto the beach for the best fishing in New Jersey. There is a great little restaurant in the park as well. Many people bike the park and enjoy the day there.
