Hi BBI, I see these threads go up every so often figured I'd test the waters, try and find a good place to take our three kids (all under three years old). We'd be driving from Syracuse, NY
Looking for (in order of priority):
- Somewhere north of Cape May, NJ and south of Narragansett, RI
- Quiet and not crowded (we can go mid week if needed)
- Clean and warmish water, kids too young to swim so don't care about it being calm water
- Don't need a lot of stuff to do, fine just chilling on the beach
- AirBnB or hotels within walking distance to the beach
Thanks in advance!
Or seaside park
Perfect hotel for mid week , perfect location
3 stars, very clean, etc etc
It's about 1/2 way between Rehoboth and Ocean City MD. It's usually more cost efficient than the Jersey Shore and the kids LOVE it.
Bear Trap Dunes Resort - ( New Window )
Also, I know it is farther south than what you mentioned, but you should really consider Ocean City, MD. Plenty of options, and you can either chill out and do nothing or do a lot of different activities, and you can get reasonably priced accommodations. LBI is very nice and closer to you, but more expensive.
Almost every Jersey shore point is going to be busy over the summer, but I love LBI, and the northern part of the island is a little less crowded. Look for Loveladies, Harvey Cedars, or Barnegat.
Third. Had a great time last summer and are going back again this year.
