Living in New Jersey means enjoying summers at the Jersey Shore. In just a few short weeks, Memorial Day Weekend (the unofficial start to summer) will be here. Memorial Day means the Jersey Shore is open for business. 

It is time to start thinking about the summer at the shore and the fun ways you and your family can enjoy your summer down the shore.

1. Spend Your Days Relaxing on the Beach

The Jersey shore has so many attractions that can make it a blast for your whole family. However, there is nothing that compares to a beautiful day on the beach. Spend the day with your family with your toes in the sand, building sandcastles, and jumping waves in the Atlantic Ocean.

Sunny days on the beach make it easy to enjoy the shore and your family without all of the noise and hustle of the boardwalk and attractions. Vitamin D and vitamin sea combined make for a happy Jersey summer break.

2. Enjoy the Rides on the Boards

Whether you have spent the day on the beach or the day walking the boards, nothing beats the rides on the boardwalk, especially as night begins to set in. Take the family to the boards for a night of fun rides, games, and the Ferris Wheel. When you are at the top of the Ferris Wheel, make sure to take in the beautiful sights of the jersey shore and the town you are visiting.

3. Enjoy Some Funnel Cake 

The Jersey Shore is known for its funnel cake. Any shore town has a go-to funnel cake stand or shop to ensure you get a tasty summer treat that you can only enjoy at the Jersey Shore.

4. Spend a Night Indoors with the Family

Unfortunately, it rains (even at the Jersey Shore). Rather than letting the rain spoil your summer down the shore, spend a day or night indoors with the family. Make it a game night or a family movie night. These family moments are the ones everyone will remember and share stories for years to come.

5. Capture Your Family Memories with a Jersey Shore Family Portrait Session

The Jersey Shore is a magical place where families come together, even if for a brief moment, and create amazing memories. Do not let those memories fade. Capture as many moments as possible. Schedule your summer family portrait session at the beach this summer for you, your kids, and your family. Lisa Mongulla Photography will be available for summer beach sessions throughout the summer. Contact her now to learn more about these sessions and how you can capture your summer moments.
