Beaches on My Mind

While I'm on the topic of beaches my mom actually told me about Dr. Beach...never heard of the guy until now, my mom asked "where have you been?" (I guess I know where I get my love for the beach from). Every year Dr. Beach does America's Top 10 Beaches, this year Coopers Beach in Southhampton was named #1....shocker!! Coronado #3....is that a joke?!?! Please tell me all those ladies that came into work werent right that New York beaches were better than California beaches!!! Have I been missing out on the best beaches all along?!?!

Well Im definitely finding out, that's a mission of mine before the summer ends, a trip to the Hampton's! With Coronado to compare to, let's see if Dr. Beach really knows his beaches ;)

Fist Pumping All the Way to the Jersey Shore...

Apparently one day at the beach wasn't enough for us, so just in time for the second season we decided to head over to the Jersey Shore. Which after doing a little research beforehand turns out its much bigger than I anticipated.

As you can see there are so many beaches to choose from its hard to know which to go to! After more research we decided on Long Branch which is on the Northern New Jersey Shore. The train takes about an hour and a half and stops about 5 blocks from the beach :)

And it looks a little bit like this....

Long Branch was just what we were looking for: quiet, pretty, boardwalk, food, shopping :) minus the fist pumping, although that would've been entertaining!!

We will def be making our way back out here, but next time we'll head further south!
