There’s
something about the salt air, a scenic view, and fresh seafood that just makes
us happy. A major benefit of living
close to the Jersey Shore is that we are always discovering new places that we love. Whether we’re
heading out for happy hour drink or a nice family meal, being outdoors and close to the beach, ocean or bay is our priority. Here are 12 of our favorites:
