Have you and your besties been dreaming of your next trip together? A weekend getaway at the Jersey Shore is exactly what you need. Here you’ll find sun, sand, and good vibes—plus plenty of fun things to do together.
Here’s how to make your next best friends’ weekend getaway at the beach unforgettable.
1. Pick the Perfect Place to Stay
The right place to stay sets the tone for your whole trip. ICONA Resorts offer some of the best NJ shore hotels for a friend trip. At each property, enjoy beachfront access, heated pools, and shuttles to get around town. Several room configurations are available, so your group can stay comfortably together. Waking up to the ocean just outside your room? Yes, please.
2. Relax on the Beach
Sometimes the best part of a friend’s getaway weekend is doing nothing at all together. Grab your towels, sunscreen, and favorite beach reads, then hit the beach. Go for a swim, lounge in the sun, or walk along the sand. Even simple moments like having a picnic and watching the sunset can be unforgettable.
3. Check Out the Wildwood Boardwalk
If your group wants to be in the heart of the action, head to the Wildwood Boardwalk. Hit the amusement park, play some arcade games, or grab a boardwalk treat like soft serve. Later in the evening, find a spot with live music to dance the night away.
4. Treat Yourselves to a Spa Day
Everyone loves a little pampering. The area has plenty of local spas and wellness spots to choose from. Book a massage or facial to recharge after a day on the beach or before a big night out.
5. Eat, Drink, and Enjoy
Food is always part of the fun on a weekend getaway with friends. For a nice night out, try Coastal Blue with bright, airy decor and coastal-inspired dishes. Try Avalon Prime Steakhouse for an upscale, classic steakhouse experience. Avalon Brew Pub is your spot for craft brews and gastropub fare.
For a more casual vibe, Star Beach Bar or The Sandbar Village offer live music, fire pits, and sand between your toes.
