Seaside Heights
Seaside Heights and summertime at the Jersey Shore. As a teenager I remember thinking it was the perfect place to be. The boardwalk, everyone scantily clad on the beach, the rides, and the heat of the summer. It still remains a great place to go and have fun with your friends.
Seaside Heights is the wildest place on Barnegat Peninsula but even with that, it is a relatively nice and safe place to stay and visit. The boardwalk and the beach are great place to be a kid or to take your young children. Every Wednesday night, after July 4, there is a big fireworks 
show that you can watch from the boardwalk. If you get tired of swimming in the ocean during the day, there is also a large water park just off of the boardwalk.
You need beach badges to get on the lifeguard protected beach - except on Wednesdays when the beach is free! If you need a place to stay overnight there are plenty of hotels and motels in Seaside. You can also find plenty of places to eat and a few places to go party.
