When the summer sun is blazing, there’s no better way to cool down than with a beach day. If you’re wondering where you’ll find our technicians off the clock, chances are it’s somewhere sandy. Whether it's catching waves, soaking up the sun, or just spending time with family, our team knows the best spots along the Jersey Shore. Here are a few of their favorite go-to beaches:

Ocean City

You can’t go wrong with a classic! Ocean City is a top pick among our crew. Lynne loves it for how clean it stays, especially compared to other nearby beaches. Brittany practically grew up here, she went to high school just around the corner, so this beach feels like home.

Somers Point Beach

For Steve, nothing beats convenience. Somers Point is just a short walk away for him, making it his quick and easy escape on a hot afternoon.

Longport

The hands-down favorite among our team, Longport wins for its peaceful vibe and cleanliness. Michael and Tina love how well-kept it is, while Clay appreciates that it’s less crowded and has clean bathrooms (a major plus). Bonus: it’s walking distance from the greenhouse.

Brigantine

If you’re into driving right onto the sand, Brigantine is the spot. Our team loves that it's a 4x4-friendly beach, which means no long hauls with coolers and umbrellas.

Atlantic City

For our team member Loryn, Atlantic City is a go-to for one major reason: no beach tags required. It’s a great spot if you want a spontaneous beach day without the hassle. She recommends going to Tallahassee Ave.

Margate

Another team favorite, Margate stands out for being clean and a bit more low-key. Jamie’s a fan of how close the water is—no mile-long treks through hot sand.

Wildwood

Looking for something a little more action-packed? Wildwood has all the fun. Our crew loves it for its family-friendly atmosphere and variety of things to do beyond just the surf and sand.
