For people living in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, spending time “down the shore” is a summer tradition. Growing up, my family didn’t have a shore house, though we made daytrips to the beach, typically Belmar. In recent years, I have spent more time exploring other beach towns along the New Jersey coast. One of my more recent favorites is Asbury Park for its trendy boardwalk and numerous nearby dining options.
A few weeks ago, my husband and I visited friends near Somers Point. We spent time relaxing at the house and took a daytrip to Margate for lunch. This was my first visit to Margate, so I knew I wanted to get a photo of Lucy the Elephant. The six-story landmark is a few steps from the beach.
Without any set plans, I hope to make some more trips down the shore this summer to explore what New Jersey beaches have to offer.
