Beach Vacation Spots in the Northeast?

Posted on November 29, 2009 by admin

I live in New Jersey. I am looking to find a nice young, hip vacation spot within a four hour drive from my state. We thought over the idea of Connecticut but I am not really too familiar with their beaches. Are the hotels affordable in the Summer there? Any ideas regarding spots that would offer us nightlife, beaches and clean, affordable hotels? Ocean City, MD has extremely expensive hotel rates and Virginia Beach is too far a drive. Any suggestions would help immensely.
I’ve been nearly everywhere in NJ. We’re trying to get away. I live on the shore as well so getting away from it would be a break.

misquamicut in Rhode island. Its an actual "beach" as opposed to the Long Island Sound beaches of CT. There are plenty of restaurants and bars around there, and its only a half hour or 45 minutes from the casinos too.

If you go to Mystic, CT, you’ll probably have a good time too. I think it’s not a real party spot, but there’s a seaport with a ton of stores and a huge aquarium.

Or take a ride up to Newport, RI. There’s a lot to do there, and depending on where in NJ you are, it’s probably a 3 1/2 to 6 hour drive.

    what about Pt. Pleasant Beach? It’s in NJ. I’ve been there and it’s not so bad a place.

    I live in Connecticut; there is nothing here in terms of beaches. You’d have to travel further south. Sorry!
