People come from all over the state and outside of the state to see what the beaches and boardwalks in New Jersey have to offer.

The best part about Memorial Day Weekend is it’s the unofficial kickoff to summer and Jersey Shore summers are totally unmatched!

For a lot of families in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, it’s a huge tradition to pack up the car and head down the shore, but with a Jersey Shore vacation comes spending a decent amount of money.

It can be very expensive, from finding a house to rent, the prices for the boardwalk food and rides, and just getting onto the beach.
