The Jersey Shore: Cape May, Asbury Park and Wildwood

Boardwalks full of snack bars, games of chance, roller coasters, water parks, and Ferris wheels pulsing with light against an evening sky.

asbury park "largely gay"? not by a longshot. maybe 5 yrs ago - now its the most diverse town on the shore - young couples like myself, older folks, and families make the majority.

I was just there for a volleyball tournament last year and it is every bit "largely gay". I'm shocked to see Asbury Park featured for anything. It is not a very nice beach asthetically. Once you get to the other side of the boardwalk, it looks like the remnants of a bombed city. There are countless unfinished construction projects. It is just not a pleasant place. For my money, I'll take Point Pleasant every time.

Cape May has been a resort well before the 1900's and in fact was practically rebuilt after a fire in 1778 destroyed 30 acres of the town. That is why there are so many Victorian homes since that was the prevailing building style of that era.
