5) Ocean Grove
Possibly the least crowded place for a beach getaway on the shores of New Jersey, this small town has a gorgeous beach where you can spend a quiet holiday. Activities are organized and family friendly, such as movie nights on the beach or arts and craft shows. The atmosphere of the town is quirky yet reserved, and locals are friendly to everyone who comes to visit. The surf break is regular, and this secluded beach is great for surfers. The beach is cleaned regularly, and a public alcohol ban means that it is a much quieter and more relaxing location for some. A fishing pier extends into the water and has a lovely atmosphere if you feel like getting away from the sand. The town itself is quaint and free from shopping malls or bars. A great place to go if you want a quiet respite from a busy life.
