Philly to the Jersey Shore

We love living in Philly, but sometimes we need to get out of the city for the day! Yesterday we spent the day at Brigantine Beach. I haven't been to a lot of beaches in NJ, but this one seems pretty great. If you have a car just mapquest how to get there (it seems like parking is free on the street) but here is how to get there via public transit from Philadelphia:

-Take NJ transit from 30th street station. Check this link on NJ Transit's website, clicking on Philadelphia's 30th street station to Atlantic City station. Trains run pretty frequently.
-Once you get to Atlantic City (about an hour and a half) get yourself to the bus station, it's a really short walk from the train station and you can check out the Atlantic City Outlets on the way-- the bus station is next to the Reebok store.
-Catch the 501 bus to Brigantine and ride it to Brigantine ave and 14th street. Walk about 2 blocks to the beach and enjoy!!

There is a Rita's right on that corner, I had my first Blendini of the season, yum yum!!


**A round trip (train and bus) will set you back about $20 a person-- not too shabby!

Enjoy the sun and surf!!
