Sitting on the East Coast and facing the Atlantic Ocean, New Jersey is a favored holiday destination in the United States. The usual activities here are all water-related, thanks to its 209 kilometers (130 miles) of coastline. Many of its tourist attractions also revolve around beaches and marine life such as the Atlantic City Boardwalk, Battleship New Jersey Museum and Memorial, Adventure Aquarium, and Morey’s Piers. However, if you’re a small-town person who just wants to enjoy and relax on the beach, you should head to Manasquan, a small borough on the southeastern tip of the state. Though the local community is small, the crowds get packed especially during the summer because Manasquan is a seaside community within walking distance from the beach. If you’re looking for a comfortable place to stay, check out the best Airbnb Vacation Rentals in Manasquan, New Jersey.
