Asbury Park is one of New Jersey's top seaside resort destinations, known for its legendary music scene, which has played an influential part in launching the careers of internationally-acclaimed rock music acts like Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi.
Couples looking to get away from the city for a weekend can explore the town's charming historic boardwalk , which is lined with unique boutiques and family-friendly arcade attractions. Top international acts are showcased at the gorgeous restored historic Paramount Theatre, while major regional and national rock bands flock to famed 20th-century tavern Stone Pony.
Visitors can also play classic video and pinball games from the 20th century at the Silverball Museum or explore unique oddities at the quirky Paranormal Museum. Each year, the city hosts annual special events like the world-record-breaking New Jersey Zombie Walk.
