I just took a trip down the show by NYC for first time in a decade. I had only been to Seaside Heights before though, not inbetween. Is Asbury Park the only commercial boardwalk between Staten Island, and Seaside Heights? I drove down to about Seagirt along the coast, and nothing. What about north of Asbury Park like Atlantic Highlands?
One would think more towns closer to NYC will want to attract tourists from NYC, far north NJ, and even Rockland/Westchester counties. Driving down to Seaside Heights is almost like going to Philly.

Rank by activities, shops, restaurants, etc etc.
Not all tourists want the commercial boardwalk, and not all towns want to bring in massive crowds of people. The towns without them seem to be doing just fine. Long Branch has two distinct business districts, one being Pier Village and another being a more traditional downtown further south, located a block off of the boardwalk/beach.
Yeah, but going to seaside was far for OP , Compared it to going to Philly. Wildwood is way further...
If Seaside Heights is the furthest willing to travel, then it’s Asbury Park first, Point Pleasant second, and Seaside Heights third. And I would choose Long Branch before I would choose Seaside Heights, even though the businesses are technically right off of the boardwalk rather than on it.

Yeah, let's not turn Long Branch into Seaside Heights, please.

It's why I go to West End beach in Long Branch. Mostly locals. Not a destination for people with kids. I mean, there are families with kids there who enjoy the beach, and I don't mind kids, but if people need to constantly entertain the little buggers with rides and games, they go elsewhere. It's pretty peaceful.
