Summertime is officially here and what better way for the mom a la mode family to embrace the first TRUE weekend of summer (meaning, pure sunshine – no rain clouds to be found!) than by taking in fun and amusements at the Jersey Shore!
We are Jersey Shore regulars, and spend most of our time in the Ortley Beach/Lavallette area. When it comes time for off-the-sand fun, the kids LOVE Casino Pier Breakwater Beach in Seaside Heights, NJ. We were excited to partner with Casino Pier Breakwater last weekend to enjoy the water park during the day and then hit the boards at night for some thrill rides and kiddie rides.
What’s special for my husband and me is to relive our own Jersey Shore childhoods through our own children now. Evident in the fact that Mike just might have ridden a slide or two more than Roc at our recent Breakwater Beach visit 😉
With a pretty decent age gap between my two kids, it can sometimes be tough to find an activity that they BOTH can do. Thankfully, at Breakwater Beach, Sienna was able to splash around with Mommy in the toddler area while Daddy and Roc could hit the nearby Lazy River or play under the giant dump bucket and splash zone area.
There are tons of beach chairs and a decent amount of semi-shaded spots at Breakwater Beach. But it’s imperative to apply your sunscreen and drink a lot of water, as you are out in the direct sunlight for most of the time.
There’s a wave pool, multiple slides and even a snack bar with a full lunch menu (the pizza was really good!) so it’s easy to spend 3+ hours enjoying the waterpark amenities.
After a few hours of water park fun, we retreated back to the house to dry off, rest and relax. After dinner, we headed back out to Seaside Heights to take on the boardwalk attractions at Casino Pier.
If you haven’t been to the Boardwalk in Seaside Heights in a while, it’s a good time to come back. Casino Pier has expanded a bit, with a new thrill ride coaster called Hydrus (that Mike LOVES!) and huge ferris wheel and some new kiddie rides that are due to open any week now.
Roc loves the Fun House, Moby Dick, Swings and Giant Slide but is equally as happy to accompany his little sister on the Cars/Trucks or the Beach Buggies.
No trip to the Boardwalk is complete without playing a few stands and hitting the Arcade. Casino Pier has a great arcade and always has the latest and greatest in prizes (Squishies, anyone?!?!)

Michelle O’Grady says
Favorite memory was a family vacation in LBI… so much to do on the island, on the bay and the beach. High on my favorite list was biking the length of the island (well over 20 miles!) with my son and stopping for some refreshing drinks and snacks at a local beach hut. Surf City is a favorite town of ours! Nothing like the Jersey shire.

My favorite memory is watching my kids bury my dad in the sand.

My favorite memory of the Jersey Shore was walking to the board walk every night with my family and going on the rides and playing games at Casino Pier. We always started it with Dinner at the Saw Mill and ended it with ice cream from Khors!!! Now I take my children and do the same thing!
