Last summer I took a trip to southern New Jersey. We stayed in a friend's beach house. There were plenty of beds and we were only a few blocks from the beach.
Unfortunately we went down during a heat wave. We would wake up at 9 a.m. to 90 degree temperatures and it only got hotter as the day went on. It was so hot that we couldn't stay inside and would sit out on the porch all day.
Most days would start out with a cold shower in the outdoor shower, make a drink, and sit wrapped in a towel until all the water evaporated from my skin and I got too hot. Then I would repeat. We took turns using the shower and making frozen drinks. It was almost to hot to walk down to the beach, we only made it their twice the whole week.
There is a restaurant in south Jersey called Dino's. Supposedly it is famous locally. We made a special trip to go there. Jersey subs are ridiculous. They are at least a foot and a half long. I watched people eat a whole one by themselves in amazement. And in case a person can't get to Dino's they deliver to the beach or anywhere else in the country you might be.
Before I visited I had always heard bad things about Jersey, but from my time spent there I don't think its so bad. I had fun. It is a little weird that you can't pump your own gas though.
