[quote:Woodsie:MV80Mzk4NTE2XzgwMDc2NDc2XzNBRjdFRDhG] Can't speak for the southmost portion of the Jersey Shore, but here's the skinny on the rest: Long Beach Island (LBI) has a lighthouse on the north end of a twenty mile long barrier island. Very affluent. Not diverse. But only a single access point, mid-island over a causeway bridge. Further north, on the mainland, Seaside has the classic boardwalk with rides and concessions, and from there you can keep riding north through Lavelette and a series of small bungalow settlements until you reach Bay Head and giant beach front homes. At Point Pleasant you have to head inland again to get over Manasquan river, and then you can pass by 'squan (a blue-collar beach for locals - it has a convenient train stop) and head for Sea Girt and Spring Lake, very nice. It gets more working class for a few towns (Belmar, Avon by the Sea, and Bradley Beach) until you reach Ocean Grove, a town essentially owned by the Methodist Church (when I was a kid you couldn't drive a car in the town on Sundays). It has an old-timey main street. There is a large auditorium that hosts religious revivals and family-friendly events. Check out the cabanas near the auditorium where people virtually camp out in the summertime. Lots of small Victorian style houses, too. Ocean Grove also shares a boardwalk with Asbury Park, a nice uninterrupted stretch along the water. Ocean Grove is "dry" but you can get a beer and catch some music in Asbury, the town Bruce Springsteen made famous. North of Asbury are Allenhurst, Deal, and Elberon, all upscale, ritzy towns. Keep heading north through Long Branch and Sea Bright and turn inland at the Sea Bright Bridge to see Rumson, with maybe the highest per capita income in the state. Mansions aplenty. Cross the Oceanic Bridge over the Navesink River and turn left to follow the river and there is more high-tone real estate. If you turn right you enter the Atlantic Highlands where sit the Twin Lights, high up behind Sandy Hook. Cross Highway 36 and find Eastpointe on Scenic Drive. There is a lookout across Raritan Bay into New York Harbor with views of Manhattan. This was an old "lover's lane" when I was a kid, a place to take a girl and park. Have fun. [/quote]

We are planning a bike ride up the Jersey Coast. We are Trump people and have Trump gear on our bike. Will we be safe and which coastal city would be best for us to stay at. I want to visit a NJ beach. Actually had idea to go to Hoboken and travel over to NYC but I no longer plan to entertain that idea.
Are there any areas with Lighthouses? I confess to being a terrible "googler" and Alexa seems to be as confused
