Spring Lake, New Jersey |
|
| Spring Lake is a treasure. It's an elegant, clean beachfront town that's never been corrupted by honky tonk.
|
|
It's filled with huge Victorian houses with wraparound porches, manicured lawns, tree-lined streets, flower filled parks, a well managed and safe beach. The town center offers many upscale boutiques that are in harmony with the high priced nearby homes. The main street is filled with trendy shops selling surfing gear, antiques, jewelry, homemade ice cream, and books. Not a place for chain stores and tourist souvenir shops. |
|
There are many Victorian style bed and breakfasts and several fine dining restaurants that add to the charm of this town.  There's plenty to do within a few miles of town with five golf courses, the quaint town of Ocean Grove and Monmouth Race Track a short drive north, and a longer drive south to Atlantic City. The nearby shore towns offer first rate deep-sea fishing. Nonetheless, for the visitor, this elegant Jersey shore community is all about relaxing and enjoying the upscale surroundings.
It is possible to wander around this beachfront community, even in peak summer season, and see very few people and almost no traffic. In the fall, the town reverts to its year-round population of less than 4,000 people and becomes even more tranquil.
