Summers in Ocean Grove are back! Discover all you can do with your friends and family with these things to do this summer in Ocean Grove.
Visit the Ocean Grove Beach
Summer is here, and we all know what that means! Long relaxing days at the beach! And Ocean Grove is just the place to do that! With miles of sandy shoreline and beautiful ocean views, the beach in Ocean Grove keeps people coming back year after year. Read here for everything you need to know about visiting Ocean Grove Beach this summer.
Get on the water
Beat the heat this summer and enjoy the many different water activities Ocean Grove has to offer. While most immediately think about things to do at the beach or boardwalk, there are plenty of activities to be enjoyed offshore as well, and they’re all within close proximity to Ocean Grove! From paddleboarding and kayaking to surfing and swimming, there’s enough to keep you cool this summer.
Take a bike ride
A bike ride is a perfect way to explore the Jersey Shore and Ocean Grove this summer. Biking along the shore is relatively flat, so routes are manageable for the entire family. A popular route is from the Brick Township to the Sandy Hook Peninsula. While the route is 36 miles one way, you can do as little of it or as much of it as you want.
Or stick close to home and explore Ocean Grove’s one square mile of historic and natural beauty on a bike with a casual ride through the tree-lined streets. Enjoy the view the largest assemblage of Victorian and early 20th century structures in America!
Go to a concert at the Stone Pony
Looking for a change of pace on your next night out? When it comes to the Jersey Shore’s selection of live music venues, The Stone Pony is the best option. From legendary rockers to contemporary greats, this is a venue that attracts the hottest names in music all year round! After a rough year in 2020, The Stone Pony is happy to announce its latest line-up for the summer of 2021, so come check it out!
Dine al fresco
