USA Today just named a New Jersey Shore Beach the best in the northeast

It's been almost 40 years since I've been in Ocean City, New Jersey. A friend of mine used to vacation with his family there. I remember it as a pretty quiet place with only a few attractions on the boardwalk. The town has apparently come a long way since my last visit. The number one thing that comes to mind when you mention Ocean City is that it is a "dry town." Only a few private clubs can serve alcohol. You can't buy alcohol anywhere else. You can't drink alcohol in public or on the beach either. Of course, you can still buy it elsewhere and drink it in your hotel room or shore house.

USA Today just released their 2023 Readers Choice report on the best beaches in the United States. In the northeast the best beach was Ocean City, New Jersey. The report says USA Today Readers gave Ocean City high marks for being "family friendly" and having a "wide sandy shoreline that stretches eight miles." Ocean City also gets high praise for it's boardwalk "lined with dining, shopping and entertainment options." One more thing. There are also lifeguards on duty all summer. Which makes Ocean City "safe and convenient" for families. Sounds like it time for me to take a trip there with my grand kids!
