We have beaches,mountains,Big Cities and rural farm land all within an hours drive in any direction.
Some truly beautiful country(some pretty decent folks too) in NJ, and a healthy Jersey Shore is a place everybody should visit at least once in their life.

I have a good friend(not Snookie, LOL) that lives in Lakewood, i often kid her that my only complaints are it's too damn hot in the summer, and you guys blew up the Hindenburg.
