🌊 Why didn’t I know about this sooner?! This is such an easy summer beach day trip from Manhattan! 🗽☀️ 👉 Hop on the @Seastreak ferry from Pier 11 or East 35th Street — it’s just a 1‑hour scenic boat ride to Atlantic Highlands, NJ. The ferry itself is an experience! Ferry Ticket Info: 🎟️ Adult (13+) one‑way: $28 / round‑trip: $48 👧 Child (5‑12) one‑way: $11 / round‑trip: $22 👶 Under 5: Free (Tickets must be purchased in person — ferry schedules available online.) From Atlantic Highlands, we hopped in a quick 30‑min Uber to the Asbury Park Boardwalk and Asbury Park Beach. 🏖️ Beach Admission: $6 weekdays / $10 weekends. I loved how clean and uncrowded it was, with plenty to do — colorful murals, a kids’ water park, mini‑golf, and chic beach clubs! 🍹 Tried the super refreshing Piña Colada from @chocolatemoonshine.love — highly recommend! 🦞 And if you’re a seafood lover, don’t miss @cousinsmainelobster (as featured on Shark Tank) — absolutely worth it! 🌅 We also discovered an amazing spot with live music, beach access, and F&B right by the ferry dock — no Uber needed! Stay tuned for a separate post on this hidden gem. 👀 💾 Save this for your next summer beach day trip! 👣 Follow for more things to do in NYC and around the world 🌍 💬 Let me know in the comments if you have any questions or recommendations! #thingstodoinnj #daycation #atlantichighlands #asburyparkbeach #asburyparknj #beachday #nyc #newjersey #nj #contentcreator #nycinfluencer #nycsummer #thingstodoinnyc #vacation #staycation #seastreak #nycexplorers #travel #daytrip #nycbeach #njbeaches #summerinnyc #travelblogger #travelinspiration #usatravel #exploremore #beachvibes - @thetoosha_z
