DH and I would like to take a trip this summer with our 2 kids (2 and 8). We just flew recently with them (ordeal!) so next time we would like someplace drive-able. We live in Rockland and would like to rent a home on/near a beach someplace within 2-3 hrs drive. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Re: NBR: Summer rental homes?
We usually go to LBI too, but last summer we went to Ocean Grove (also NJ shore, but it was only a 90 minute drive...we're in Rockland too). It was a really cute town... quiet, mostly families, but if you go out to eat you have to BYOB because it's a dry town. The boardwalk isn't fab...ice cream and a gift shop.... but you can walk to Asbury Park and they have mini golf, ice cream, boardwalk food, but not a lot of fun stuff for the kids. We drove to Point Pleasant (about 15 minutes) to go to the boardwalk there.
ETA: When we went the girls were 11 and 20 months...
