Asbury Park & Spring Lake

Rock and roll on the boardwalk, and a quiet Victorian beach town.

Asbury Park has reinvented itself as the Jersey Shore’s coolest town, with the Stone Pony, a lively boardwalk and stylish hotels. A few miles south, Spring Lake is the opposite: quiet, Victorian and elegant. Stay in one, dine in both and walk the beach.
