Ocean Grove is a lovely community along the Jersey Shore, located just south of Asbury Park within easy driving distance to lively attractions like Atlantic City.

The National Register of Historic Places-listed community is best known as the home of the historic Great Auditorium, which served as a popular Christian event meeting place in the early 20th century and has hosted music luminaries ranging from John Philip Sousa and Ray Charles to Tony Bennett and Kenny Rogers.

Visitors can explore the community's gorgeous preserved Victorian-era architecture or stroll along its gorgeous beachfront stretches, which are lined with gourmet restaurants and lively boutiques and shops. Each year, the city hosts one of the nation's largest annual Christian retreat summer camps, along with the two-day Bridgefest contemporary Christian music festival. Map
