If you’re not a shore local, usually when you think of the beach, you think summer time… right? Yeah well, the most enjoyable time for locals of the Jersey Shore is actually the fall. We call it our “local summer.”
The crowds are gone, those scorching hot days are over, you no longer have to wait over an hour to eat at your favorite restaurant, you can enjoy your local ice cream shop without a line out the door and your town starts to feel more like home again. Not to mention, you can do all of the typical fall activities with the added perks of being able to still enjoy a beach view.
County parks have a lot to offer to Monmouth County residents and they’re so much better once the summer crowd is gone. In Howell and Freehold, you can rent a rowboat or kayak at the Manasquan Reservoir. Since the weather cools down a little, it’s the perfect temperature to go camping too. Freehold’s Turkey Swamp Park had a beautiful campground and also kayaks, canoes and paddleboats for rent on weekends after Labor Day.
Fall festivals are the best way to spend the days. Some upcoming festivals in the area include: Bark in the Park in Keansburg, Harvest Home Festival in Holmdel, Keansburg’s Half Way to St. Paddy’s Day Irish Festival, October Fest in Highlands, Fall Flea Market in Allaire, Ocean Grove’s Fall Harvest Festival, Car Show in Atlantic Highlands, Belmar’s October Fest, Keyport Screamin’ Country Jamboree, Pumpkin Fest at Delicious Orchards and Monmouth Park Fall Festival… just to name a few. So, if you think living by the shore isn’t worth it in New Jersey, think again. It really is the place to be.
