It's summertime. Time to kick back, relax, and have a little fun.

If you're from New Jersey, like I am...born, raised, and still here...summer means heading to the Jersey Shore as often as you can.

The sand between your toes, salt air, ocean breeze, sound of the seagulls, and smell of the boardwalk food are absolutely the best. I wait all year to be back at the beach.

If you've heard of this beach, you may be blushing. Why? Because it's New Jersey's only clothing-optional beach.

The article says it's a very quiet beach with lots of birds and butterflies...sounds lovely. There are no signs advertising where it is, it's that secret.

#5 is Sedge Island

Number 5 is Sedge Island near Island Beach State Park.

I haven't heard of this one either. I think I'm going to get my Jersey Girl card taken away. Ha ha.
