The Jersey Shore wasn’t just a beach trip—it was a feeling. Salt in the air, boardwalk lights flickering on at dusk, the sound of waves blending with laughter and old songs on the radio. I remember thinking, “This is summer the way I want to remember it—simple, full of life, and just a little bit timeless.”
What stayed with me were the textures: warm sand, wooden planks under bare feet, fresh seafood eaten outside with no need to hurry. Every town had its own rhythm—from the family buzz of Ocean City to the quiet corners of Cape May—and I found myself slowing down to match it. I left the Shore with wind-tangled hair and the kind of joy you don’t need to explain.
