Tuesday, December 13, 2022: After visiting Island Beach State Park, I next headed north toward a place in Ocean County, New Jersey, that my parents used to take me to in the 1960s and ‘70s: Seaside Heights (732-793-9100). Of course, back then, we visited during a summer day that included the crowds, but everything along the boardwalk was opened: the arcades, the carnival games, and the amusements, as well as the stores, the eating places, and the beach. This time around, however, I had a different experience because it was off season. It felt strange seeing the mostly closed businesses. Anyway, because there were no crowds, it felt more relaxing. I saw a few people here and there, including some men in wetsuits with surfboards, and a few places were opened such as the arcade section of Casino Pier, 800 Ocean Terrace (732-793-6488), where I played a few computerized games. In addition, I also noticed that some stores were opened, and I ate a great slice of pizza at another place opened year round: JR’s Ocean Bar & Grill, 601 Boardwalk (732-793-0800). Here, I encountered a friendly staff as I enjoyed my pizza and soda. The pizza slice was very large and not greasy! Another bonus for being at Seaside Heights this time of year was seeing it decorated for the holidays.
