Pine Shores Art Association’s Guide to the Jersey Shore is a must-have for those new to the area needing some helpful tips on where to go for entertainment, food, park land and playgrounds. The book is beautifully illustrated by 100 PSAA artists and is split into four sections: “Splash and Cast,” “Create and Play,” “Feast and Party,” “Explore and More.”

“Splash and Cast” has general information about beaches and also details on obtaining BeachWheels (for those unable to walk in sand) and where to find public restrooms.
