Seaside Heights

If you're making a night of it at the boardwalk, there are several bars, restaurants, and food stands to keep you satiated. Historically, you would grab a hilariously oversized slice of greasy pizza and a Bud, both of which are still on offer at the Sawmill. Three Brothers From Italy does brisk trade. For something unique, you can go to Maruca's for a tomato pie, which is not that dissimilar from a regular pie, but they put the sauce in a pinwheel shape on top of the pie. Still cheese and tomatoes = good. You also have plenty of stands selling other proto-Italian American fare - like sausage and peppers, cheesesteaks, and zepoles.

But there are many different options beyond the traditional. Park Seafood gets a nod, especially for its soft shell crab sandwich, which was ranked #7 on this NJ.com list of best boardwalk foods. House of Empanadas also got a mention.

The Beach

Like other beaches in the area, you need a badge to access the Seaside Heights beach. Of course, you can admire it from afar on the boardwalk for free. For those only visiting, weekly badges are $50 and daily are $13.

Non-boardwalk ideas and fare

Let's be real - the boardwalk can be overwhelming. Fortunately, the greater Seaside Heights area has some great options beyond the wooden pathway.

Klee's Bar and Grill is great for pub food and watching sports. Seaside Social House aims to serve artisanal pizzas and "provide an elevated, creative hang out where you can enjoy quality food while still wearing your flip flops."

Or cool off from the hot sun and enjoy a cold craft beer at Heavy Reel Brewing Company.
