A charming, Atlantic coastal getaway
Spring Lake’s miles of sandy beach, great restaurants, laid-back boutiques, and charming tree-lined avenues all add up to a sophisticated coastal vacation. Explore downtown by bicycle, splash through the ocean waves, or admire the grand turn-of-the-century homes that abound here. Some of these are now stylish Spring Lake vacation rentals. You can enjoy a promenade around the sparkling lake, or along the peaceful boardwalk – the longest non-commercial boardwalk in New Jersey. Or simply head to the beach that this refined coastal town claims to be the best in New Jersey.
The life and good times of Spring Lake
Learn more about New Jersey's most charming beach town at the Spring Lake Historical Society Museum. Built in 1897, the museum and gallery is housed in a Victorian-era villa set in landscaped grounds. It hosts a variety of historic exhibits, including photographs and journals from Native American times through to the grand Victorian years. If you prefer the arts to local history, why not book front-seat tickets to a show at the Spring Lake Theatre. This striking 1920s building has been a 350-seater venue for nearly a century.
Shop until you drop in Spring Lake
Spring Lake is a small but charming beach town that attracts a steady stream of visitors throughout the year. Many come to play golf or enjoy a family picnic on the beach. A Spring Lake vacation rental makes a great base for exploring the Atlantic Coast beaches. Shopping fans can head to 3rd Avenue, the town's commercial center, which is bustling with local boutiques, art galleries, and gift shops. After a day on the beach, head to the boardwalk for a sunset stroll, or dine out in one of Spring Lake's popular family-run restaurants.
It's summer lovin' on Spring Lake's beaches
The Atlantic Coast of New Jersey is popular in the warm summer months, when the crowds flock to the east coast to enjoy the sunshine. Temperatures easily hit highs of 85 degrees or more, but this means Spring lake vacation rentals get snapped up quickly. For the best choice, visit in winter, when temperatures drop to around 30 degrees and the rain comes, so pack layers and an umbrella. The shoulder seasons of spring and fall are equally pleasant times to visit, with mild days and sunshine but fewer crowds.
Allaire Park is the allure of New Jersey
Located 60 miles south of New York City, Spring Lake is a small beach town on the Atlantic Coast. While the boardwalk and beach are a big attraction for local walkers, for longer hikes head a 15-minute drive west to the rugged Allaire State Park. Sprawling across some 3000 acres, it has more than 20 miles of easy to moderate hiking trails through forests thick with pine trees. Aside from the hiking trails, the park features a popular nature center, and Allaire Village, a former 19th-century industrial ironworks town and now a living museum.
