Seaside Heights is the epitome of the classic Jersey Shore experience. While the town is world-famous for its spirited boardwalk and Casino Pier with its exciting rides, Sunset Beach on the bay side provides a tranquil alternative. Here, visitors can enjoy spectacular sunsets over Barnegat Bay and use the gentler waters for kayaking or stand-up paddling. The Atlantic beach is wide, sandy, and great for sunbathers and surfers.

The nightlife in Seaside Heights is legendary, with numerous bars and clubs providing entertainment until the early morning hours. Accessibility is excellent via the Garden State Parkway.
