Ocean Grove Has Charms That Will Enchant the Visitor. Ocean Grove offers

Charm, History, Great Music in a Great New Jersey Beach. A Visit to Ocean Grove, New Jersey Gives You the Best of It All

The beautiful New Jersey beach town of Ocean Grove can literally be said to be a town where "time has taken a vacation". This elegant seashore town of tree-lined streets, gingerbread Victorian Era homes and a sweepingly beautiful beach is in the Natonal Register of Historic Places.

In fact, Ocean Grove has the largest collection of Victorian architecture in the United States, and nestled in these charming buildings is a wonderful assortment of craft shops, antique shops and great restaurants.

Unlike many New Jersey beach towns, the boardwalk and beach in this town are completely commercial free. Many visitors enjoy a quiet stroll where they can enjoy an uninterrupted view of the ocean and breathe in the clean, salty air.

Many hotels, Inns and Bed and Breakfasts are located right opposite the beach, affording the lucky vacationer to this beautiful New Jersey Beach a spectacular view of the ocean with his morning coffee or afternoon cocktail.

The Great Auditorium, which holds fabulous concerts all summer long, is the largest enclosed auditorium in New Jersey, the size of a complete football field. The concerts at the Great Auditorium are sold out quickly, and run the gamut in musical taste from classical or religious to Country, Doo Wop and R&B. A 2008 sampling includes: the Atlantic Wind Ensemble, Neil Sedaka, ABBA, Gladys Knight and Kenny Rogers. Enough variety to suit everyone's taste!

But if the beach is what calls to you, you won't find a nicer, cleaner more uncluttered beach on the East Coast. There is a fee for a beach pass, but many B&B's and hotels offer discounted beach tickets.

One of the favorite pastimes of all New Jersey beach goers is fishing, and the Ocean Grove fishing pier offers some of the best fishing. If you prefer fishing in the surf, fishing off the rock jettys can be exciting.

Lovely architecture, sweeping views, great shops, music, swimming, fishing and more. You couldn't ask for a better location for a vacation in the sun.

And all this within an hour's ride of Philadelphia or New York City!
