Travel Channel and its beach was ranked fifth in New Jersey in the 2008 Top 10 Beaches Contest sponsored by the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium
.
Washington St is about a mile long and Amber and I walked it every morning even when it was really cold. We couldn't have enough of the pretty houses, gardens and porches. Definety a must "to do". The street leads you right into a historic area with a fun mall with souvenir stores and Italian style cafes.
