June 2024: Summer Shore Guide

For our 2024 Shore Guide, the editors at New Jersey Monthly wanted to shine a light on every beach town in our state. Not just the ones with the splashy attractions or the busy boardwalks, but every town—big, small or in-between—along the coast.

Here, you’ll find at least one fun thing you must do in each town, from restaurants to natural wonders to boardwalk attractions for the whole family.

Also in our Shore Guide, you’ll find a primer on the fun and beautiful carousels of the area, from the historic ones to the new additions; a roundup of what’s brand-new at the Shore this season; a guide to this summer’s top festivals; details on throwing your own clambake; and more.
