Philadelphians love the Shore: The beaches. The boardwalks. The partying. But which town has what you’re looking for this summer? And what tips, tricks, and hacks do we need to know before we go? Jen Miller, journalist and expert on the Jersey Shore, has written about New Jersey’s ocean towns for the New York Times, The Washington Post, and The New Jersey Monitor. Today she tells us where – and how – we should be making those trips to the Jersey Shore in the coming months.
