Jersey Shore - Best Place On Earth?

Okay.....so I don't know if the Jersey Shore is the best place on earth, but for me it's up there.  Besides the Caribbean Ocean, there is no better beach than the one right outside the beach house I grew up (over the summers) in Mantoloking, New Jersey.

This is the view.....can you see why I love this place?

But it's more than just the view. 


It's the surfing:

And the swimming:

Goofing off after dinner on the beach:

Enjoying a slice of watermelon on the deck:

Playing on the lifeguard's chair after she's done for the day:

Fishing.......and......catching a.......

Sand Shark!!

He's kinda cute for a shark.



 Having a pow wow on the beach, under the umbrella (ella, ella):

 

A nice fire on the sand:

What's better than all of this??  I know the Jersey Shore is not very exotic, but there's no where else I'd rather be during the summertime!!
