All this frigid winter weather has us dreaming of the sun and surf of summer. It’s never too early to start thinking about a summer vacation to the New Jersey shore. To help you out, let us highlight a few of the best NJ beaches—all of which are within easy driving distance of our Value Van & Car Rental location.

1. Point Pleasant Beach

Looking for a great family-friendly beach? Point Pleasant Beach is located just over an hour south of Newark, and this beach has it all: a boardwalk, playgrounds, restaurants, live entertainment, and more. Your family will never be without something to do at Point Pleasant Beach, NJ.

2. Sea Girt Beach

The beach in Sea Girt, NJ offers about a mile stretch of beach that’s not crowded. Plus, Sea Girt’s throwback boardwalk offers charm and nostalgia you can’t find at some of the more populated beaches. You can hop in your rental car, take the Garden State Parkway, and make it to Sea Girt in about an hour.

3. Ocean City Beach

Are you all about the boardwalk? If so, you definitely need to head to Ocean City Beach—known for its boardwalk attractions. You can enjoy the atmosphere by renting a bicycle, taking a walk, or even exploring the amusement park, Playland’s Castaway Cove. Visitors of all ages can find some fun and excitement.

New Jersey is full of great coastal destinations, and these three beaches are just a few you can consider working into your summer plans.

For all your NJ travels, be sure to contact Value Van & Car Rental for a reliable and affordable rental car, minivan rental, SUV rental, and more.
