We had a great day here at the end of August celebrating my wifes birthday. Our local friend set us up with beach passes, chairs and umbrellas right between the ocean and the Boardwalk. It was not overly crowded and groups were respectful of each other and socially distanced. Masks were not worn on the beach, but many wore masks on the Boardwalk. The area was clean and had a couple restaurants open for outside dining. I would definitely return and would recommend a trip here.

I had to go to Asbury Park boardwalk to recreate the famous sopranos “dream scene!” It was really cool to see Tillie at the wonder bar. I love the nostalgia of Asbury park boardwalk. In the theater building they have stores for shopping. There are a bunch of restaurants and a cool arcade called silver ball. It was cool seeing the Stone pony where Bruce Springsteen started.

Try the watermark for drinks to get a great view of the ocean from above. Its above Stella Maria. Great boardwalk with outdoor dining. Convention Halls architecture is beautiful. Past convention hall a bit are new public bathrooms. Walk the other way to Ocean Grove as well if you love Victorian architecture and want to step back in time. If you want a long walk, you can walk to Bradley Beach, Avon, Belmar and even Spring Lake from the Asbury boardwalk.

Our first time to the shore/beach since the pandemic hit. It was a pleasant experience! The folks on the beach were socially distanced on groups. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves on the beach and in the water. The Boardwalk was busy. Many people werent wearing masks, but about half were. There were a couple restaurants open with outside dining. It was clean and orderly. I would go again.

Food was amazing, hot dogs are flown in from San Francisco from a butcher that he chooses himself. He uses real cheese. Dog friendly. Cant say enough great things about this place

Expensive but very worth the meal. The tea leaf salad was filled with different taste and the lamb curry was great. The service was great. The onlyComplaint you can have is the wait and that there are no reservations

Clean beach, a fair amount of activities and eateries, great atmosphere. The only downside is during these Covid times, lots of people were not wearing masks (signage dictates masks must be worn) and the police were not doing any enforcement.

Such a beautiful place. Saw a pod of whales off the coast. We were here when it was really cold and windy. Seems like a happening spot on the summer. Restaurants looked like they open after 5pm.

Very nice to walk around. Beach looked great. However, many visitors ignored the mask rules. About 25% did not wear masks within 6 ft of others. But parking was ample and cheap.

So cool to see the old buildings and the amazing work done so many years ago.

Love it here. Beautiful, diverse, and not over-crowded. You have to purchase a pass (suggested to do this the day before) to go on the beach but the pass is good from 9am-8pm. The artwork/murals on the boardwalk were beautiful. Definately visiting again.

Quiet & clean, yet open & available to public. Remember your mask!

Its a nice and well maintained boardwalk near the beach. Its a nice place to walk through on good weather. It probably gets really crowded during peak season.

Nice boardwalk. Some good restaurants and food spots. Tough day to judge how good because of the weather and covid. But a very nice experience

I appreciated Mogo’s best Taco’s ever. I also liked the fact they had some covered shopping...The other food we experienced was pricey.There are many better beaches in NJ..

Love the beach and boardwalk. Clean. People are respectful. Lots of good food choices, albeit expensive. But that is the norm now I guess. I remember a very different Asbury back in the 90s.good times then and now.

Asbury Park Boardwalk is a very clean, eclectic, wide boardwalk about a mile long lined with shops and restaurants next to the Jersey shore. It has retained some of the previous architecture along with new buildings that work well with the environment. The beach requires purchasing a pass to enter. It is recommend that you purchase your beach passes online (you can scan the qrcode in my photos or visit VIPLY Passes) the night prior to visiting the beach after 6:30pm to ensure you receive a pass. You will most likely not be able to purchase passes upon arrival as this beach is limited in allowed visitors. Overall Asbury Park and the Boardwalk were a nice day getaway to enjoy good food in a very nice environment.

In the past 20 years, this boardwalk has come back. New restaurants and shops. They even have extended the boardwalk past the arcade north with a brand new boardwalk that has bathrooms and outside showers. It is really nice and a fun day at the beach. Lots of street parking. Check it out.

Very nice... clean beach and boardwalk. Social distance requirements being followed but not invasive . Great variety of food and shops still open after Labor Day. Wear your mask and go enjoy the beach!(before it gets cold)

Its alot better then it was ten years ago. Keep it up it gets nicer each year .

Great place to visit and live if you have the opportunity to, Lots to do, plenty of places to Eat & a Great Atmosphere

Asbury Park boardwalk and beach front area is really coming back strong. All existing buildings are getting a complete face lift and repurposing. Much new high end and attractive construction is going on. Asbury park boardwalk has many nice restaurants and night spots now. Very safe to go out in evening and walk on the beach and boardwalk as well as the towns fully restored and gentrified downtown. Many beautiful stores, restaurants, boutiques. Great evening night life. Really a complete resurrection of the town and jumping back to being a high end enjoyable destination.

The smells, the ocean, the happy people. It is just the right length for a stroll. The almost victorian vibe is...almost there.the beach guards are every few feet and that makes it....a bit sad.

Lots of shops, food cars, and restaurants. This is a great place to go for the day or a weekend. And if you are into music the legendary stone pony is right there. Would definitely visit again.

Its a little worn. The boardwalk really needs repair. A few of stores are empty (maybe due to Covid). But it was just nice to take a walk. Quiet.

1st time since they started renovated Asbury. Beautiful weather with people enjoying the beach and al fresco dining!

Its Covid. The boardwalk was a bit crowed, but not bad. Hardly nobody had masks on. The town removed the benches closest to the beach. So nobody can sit.The problem is, if you just wanted to get a drink and sit for a minute because you were really HOT. Nobody, would let you sit unless you ordered a meal.Odd thing about me is that if someone does a good deed for me or someone I know I will go back to their establishment.Bottom line, nobody could let me sit. I dont spend my money their.CHOW

The entire Jersey shore is gorgeous. However, Asbury Park is special. Compared to Avalon, Wildwood etc, it is less crowded and well maintained. Ample parking and the section of boardwalk that is unique.

Great place for a weekend walk. Plenty of places to eat at all price ranges. The beach requires a pass which costs slightly more on weekends. Parking can be a little difficult and it wont be free. Artsy usage of very old architecture. I hope the city restores the mill next to the carousel building. Lots of potential.

I brought my in-laws here and they had fun as much as I did.

Asbury Park is the summer destination for both kids and adult if you dont mind the traffic and can find parking. The boardwalk is unique and has character with some interesting sections! I visited on July 4th, 2019 and it costs $9 per person to gain access to the beach. There are ample restrooms and benches throughout the boardwalk. The firework from Asbury Park is spectacular!

One of the best beach town. Full of shops, restaurants, and beaches of course. There are free parking on the inner streets (4-5 blocks away from the boardwalk) but you need to get there early and have a some patience.

Very nice to be out on the water. Seemed to be very dog friendly

Are you at my Amandas house early spring, so culvert is still going on. Lot of people out very few masks which I prefer. No issues among anybody. Stores open but only for takeout. And a really nice walk down to Bradley Beach on the boardwalk.

Enjoyed taking in the sites on the boardwalk. Cute main street area with restaurants with outside dining and other shops.

Get in before 9am and leave by 1pm youll have excellent parking and get a great spot by the water. And youll be leaving when it starts to get crazy. Trust me youll feel like it was a wonderful experience rather than chaotic and stressful. After all beaches should be relaxing, right?!

“not very popular... quite...calm... less crowded...”This beach is not quite popular like point pleasant but less crowd is itself a bliss, isnt it?The boardwalk is clean and calm. 2-3 pubs are quite popular here and I can see these pubs are crowded even on a weekday. Both ends of boardwalk have old building and architecture of building is quite amazing. Beach is too not crowded muchOne can have relaxed day at the beach without disturbanceWorth a visit.

Unlike any other boardwalk on the Jersey shore. Nice shops, great resturants. Tame crowd with Covid.

Great beach and boardwalk! Very clean and well maintained. Many restaurants and foodie carts to go to.Lots of side street metered parking and there are restrooms. Usually packed during weekends of summer. And there are concerts and films shoots here from time to time.

Atlantic ocean is a site to behold! Majestic indeed

It was super crowded, as people are eager to get out after weeks of COVID19 quarantine, but it was a respectful crowd.

Quiet but lots of fliesFirst time here , was really nice & quiet .Everyone enjoying the weather and keeping distance. I like the fact you can rent an umbrella or a lounge chair for 10ea and they carry it to your spot and set it up.Theres a line of garbage drums line up all over. Everything was clean even the bathroom. I visited when I got there and when I left and still clean. You can also buy stuff there on the big building by tbe old theater in case you forgot your hat, towel , etc. What I dont understand if the little flies that will come around your spot annoying the heck of you.Mosquitos are nothing compare to them.Theres also security and cops all around. Plenty of parking, I paid 12.00, and 5.00 to go to the beach. Boardwalk had a few places with outdoor dinning. Overall great place. I was by 7st. Need to find out was up with the flies.

Its a very busy beach, but there are a lot of places to eat and drink. The beach itself is impeccably clean. Dont forget to get your pass the night before or they wont let you on the beach!

We actually took our dogs (my daughter and her dog joined us) to Yappy Hour at the Wonder Bar. It was a great time any the Wonder Bar is always a great place!

Beautiful place to be in summer. Lots of places to eat and plenty of beach. Very popular, so go early to reserve a spot.

Great boardwalk and beach. Clean! Very friendly people. Great sand. Reasonable prices $15 to park all day. $5 for a weekday beach pass. Highly recommend!

Great Boardwalk. Lots preserved old structures makes this place nostalgic. Disappointed with food at Langosta Lounge. Fish sandwich overdone (probably old), veggies on fish kebob almost rotten, and no beer on tap, you read that right!

Nice to see the morning sunrise here. Beach is well maintained, clean and plenty of parking available for morning hours.

This was our first time at Asbury Park. Its $7 per person and children are free. We parked and hung out left of the boardwalk where it was less crowded and quiet. The beach is clean.They have real restrooms that are clean and decent. I didnt feel like it was overcrowded and disguising.After putting our things away and walking up the boardwalk, we noticed that it was very condensed on the beach in front of the boardwalk. I didnt get the chance to check out the beach area here, but Id imagine its nice due to the fact that its so crowded there.There are some cute shops inside of the boardwalk. We stayed awhile looking through everything. Also located on the boardwalk are restaurants, an ice cream shop, and small boutiques. Forget your beach supplies? They have it all located in the boardwalk including towels, hats, toys, and food.Overall, it was worth $7 fee and I would come back.

Its awsome place to come walk and see scenery

First time there, very nice experience. Cant wait for my next visit!!!

Love the Asbury park boardwalk! Parking can be a little difficult at times during the summer. I don’t mind walking so I usually park a few blocks away and walk. I love the bonfires at night (check the schedule). You can hear the outdoor concerts from the boardwalk too.

What a beautiful place! Asbury Park has a great boardwalk and beach! Very clean beach and specific areas to swim. The boardwalk is a nice switch up from the best if you want to explore. I love the system of having wristbands for the beach area. Parking is very convenient and easily located

One of my favorite boardwalk beaches. Old fashioned Victorian era meets fringe art, tattoos, wall murals, great food choices for foodies and LBGTQ friendly. Asbury Park beach is history in the making.

Asbury has felt like home to me since a child. To me, it has become the best boardwalk in NJ. Shops, restaurants and bars youll find nowhere else, great music scene and amazing nightlife. If you want to really know what it feels like to be a local, come to Asbury Park.

I am a born and raised shore gal. Ive always loved Asbury Park boardwalk even before the redevelopment. This is definitely one of the best boardwalks in NJ!

Went for the Christmas festival bazaar. If you are looking for a Christmas gift come take a look. Many vendors selling everything from handmade candies, one of a kind ornaments and the list goes on. Its free so go take a stroll and check out the vendors, stores, pubs, eateries and coffee cafes. Check out the website for days and times and vendors.

I enjoyed very much my time here. Always packed.

First time going and I loved it. Good food, great parking, and not too crowded.

Had a chance to visit the boardwalk in Asbury with my family this past Summer it was very unique lots of cool murals and the beach was very clean . Lots of shops and entertainment options along the strip with the legendary Stone Pony and the Wonder bar it was a fun day would highly recommend!!!

Nice place. Not a hookah smoker so its not for me in particular. Ordered chicken wings and got store bought chicken nuggets. Drinks were ok. Staff was friendly.

Good, typical boardwalk with beautiful murals and decently maintained structures. Not the best dinner spot but desserts are decent.

It was cool seeing the wall that Bouncing Souls named some songs after!

Energetic & lively, people being covid safety while still having fun.

Clean beaches but you need to pay to get in which sucked other than that was nice

Very nice ,beautiful looks to ocean ..great food ....definitely a must GOOOO TOO

You get to enjoy the history of the boardwalk and many restaurants that respect covid 19

OMG I CANT EVEN WITH THIS PLACE. I am not exaggerating when I say it is friggin beutiful here I had so so so much fun and all the shops were nice and clean and the art was amazing its a great picture spot and I highly suggest it!

Awesome jersey beach. Be aware of people that dont keep social distance

Nice up and coming hipster boardwalk. Not the typical jersey boardwalk. Way more bars

Its a nice place but i wouldnt drive from nyc for it constantly.

Dogs are allowed on the boardwalk during the fall/winter months. There are a number of beautiful murals, plenty of places to relax and grab a bite to eat.

Top notch pooch and adult bevvies. Quite cute.

My friends and I really enjoyed our time at the beach. They implemented COVID-19 regulations so guests can enjoy the boardwalk food as well as the beach. We did have to pay for passes prior to arriving just to make sure we were able to get onto the beach because they are limiting how many guests can go in due to COVID-19.

Love Ocean love how Friendly everyone was little expensive but worth it

Asbury boardwalk is so nice and such a delight to go to and try different resturaunts and such and it is really getting cleaned up and turning into a Brooklyn Jr. Everyone is always so friendly in the town including the locals who live there so welcoming and kind and caring the whole community.

Always a good time with the family at the eclectic, interesting, and inclusive Asbury Park Boardwalk.

Love mogo tacos!! Wide boardwalk, dogs welcome on 8th avenue beach.

With everything going on not many things were open very difficult to find the ATM but still a nice place to be

It was nice and quite, but not much to do on the boardwalk.

Is my favorite boardwalk to hang out and get some food some drinks walk around enjoy the scenery and the art. And soak some rays on the beach from time to time.

After I paid for parking, walked blocks with my kids to the beach, they were full and wouldnt let you on the beach. They should have had a sign or a way to let people know this before all that. Fyi it was 9:30 AM.

Made the trek for a day trip to Asbury Park on a Friday. Very pleasantly surprised. Its been years since I had been there. Found parking easily. Only $5 each for the beach passes. Beach was nice and clean. After lifeguards left we went and walked the boards. Boardwalk looks new. I think they had to rebuild because of Sandy. Nice to see the town is trying to preserve the historic buildings on the boardwalk. Lots of nice shops and restaurants. Got delicious Italian Ice. Took in the outside concert from the Stone Pony. Watched some street performers. Checked out the beautiful murals that are painted on the buildings. Joined a group that was playing beach volleyball. Overall nice and welcoming vibe from Asbury Park. Very different from back in the day. We will definitely go back.

Wonder walk with great people and ocean views

Great! Not packed Everyone keeping there distance. Shops and Restaurants opened.

Great boardwalk. Have to pay to park and pay to use beach. Fun place.

Great beach and boardwalk, very quiet and clean. Gender-neutral restrooms. LGBT-friendly

Loved the atmosphere. If youre going to dine there call ahead for reservations in advance.

Tremendous place lots of fun and great place to people watch love the street performance and beer Hall

Love AP!! We have been going for years

Lovely spot beautiful street art and great food. P.s. download viply to get tickets.

Very nice and great place to go to. Beach was nice and clean..great atmosphere...food was great...

Great place to go and take a walk its on the beach, also there are restaurants and bars on your walk

We had a great time, social distance circle were Awesome

Always a nice time taking a stroll down the boardwalk

Food and restaurants are great. Indoor dining soon (I hope)

Asbury Park is the perfect place to get a true beach experience. There is the boardwalk right behind you with public bathrooms, food, and numerous dining experiences.

Beautiful and good care of social distancing

Love coming here. Even during the pandemic it was clean.

Dirty, people dont wear mask. Too many low profile people
