Greetings from Ocean Grove, NJ!
Vacationers who discover historic Ocean Grove located on the Jersey Shore tend to return summer after summer - and off-season too - because this very special town casts a spell. The founders made a planned community and their design is still enchanting vacationers, who enjoy the public spaces and parkways, which are beautified with stunning flower arrangements by a garden club.Ocean Grove Victorian architecture
History is here in a Victorian house museum and Herb Garden, and in a separate building, the Ocean Grove Historical Society Museum and research center.
There's living history too: the Great Auditorium of 1894 continues on with Saturday evening summer concerts featuring famous guest artists and Sunday morning services featuring famous guest preachers. Ocean Grove's Auditorium of 1894 is at the center of a unique tent city - colorful part tent, part cottage houses with colorful awnings and their own front porches and flower boxes.
A fishing pier and boardwalk pavilion are the historic structures on Ocean Grove's clutter-free, non-commercial boardwalk. Step back in time: Ocean Grove's Victorian architecture and restored hotels line Ocean Avenue and are a stunning view of the town from the beach.
As you enjoy an early morning walk along the sand, you may encounter other morning people, who are searching to find some sea glass or a star fish to add to a collection. Main Avenue has charming cafes, seafood restaurants, and shops. Dining
Right up the boardwalk is Asbury Park, once the amusement-park sister city to Ocean Grove's quiet and devout atmosphere. Asbury Park is undergoing a rebirth - opening new bars and nightclubs for the summer crowd.

Giant Flea Market, The Boardwalk Art Show, the Great Auditorium afternoon organ concerts on the Hope Jones theater organ and Asbury Park - First Saturday Events a once-a-month shopping, dining, and entertainment event centered in downtown Asbury Park.
