"Walking through the hot spots at Redondo Beach in Feb. will make you nostalgic for Seaside or Point Pleasant Beach in August.It is nice but as many others have said, it's expensive and lots o traffic.
The people from my perspective are much more laid back that Jersey folk...."
In PA now?? Don't you miss the water?
I've worked in Wall, Seaside (the boardwalk), and Point Pleasant Beach...
That's saying alot to compare Redondo Beach to those places.
I've lived in the Toms River/Brick area since '76 and love it. And it's an hour and a half max to whereever you want to go (Philly, NYC, Atlantic City, Wildwood, the Poconos, etc.)
Red Bank...It's close to the beach and the City -- what's the problem, DC? Just a change of scenery?

hey, i know this is not to me, but in PA we have a lot of water...I have a creek right by my house where we can tube or kayak when we feel like it. OKAY, no kayak yet, but definitely tubes.

Talking about the boardwalk only.

I lived in Belmar from birth to 26 years, then lived in Ocean Grove for 2 years and then moved to Little Egg Harbor (Tuckerton exit 58)for 18 years. Too crowded for me. Now I live in Carbon County PA near Jim Thorpe. Out in the boonies for an amazing low price. I have almost 4 acres of yard. We are 1.5 hours from NYC, 1.25 hours from Phili and we are in the Poconos. PA has great gun laws. Great place to raise the kids. We would not allow our kids to ride their bikes in Little Egg, no problem here in pa. Little Egg today is a lot like what Wall and Brick or Jackson was when I was a kid, it was a lot cheaper than Belmar or Manasquan. Now it's all expensive. Belmar was a fantastic place to live back in the 60s and 70s.
Back in the late 60s, my dad worked in West Long Branch. We would pick him up from work if my mom needed the car. I remember being terrified at night driving up Rt. 35 between the Asbury Park Circle and Monmouth Mall Circle because the area was soo wooded we thought the boogy man was hiding in the woods. Can you imagine that area ever being wooded? Where the Kohls store in Brick is (Rt. 70 and Chambersbridge Rd) that was way back a Two Guys store. That area was considered the wilds of the jersey pinelands. No kidding, there was nothing there back then.
