Day 1
Grab a box of made-to-order donuts at Duck Donuts on 31st St. for breakfast and get the day started with a bang.
These delicious donuts are made fresh with many unique flavors to try. Your family will appreciate the quick meal so they can sink their toes in that long-awaited sand.
After the sugary delights, get your bags packed for a day by the ocean. Sunscreen, umbrellas, sand toys, and swimsuits are all a must.
There are beach chairs and umbrellas to rent at different points on the beach if you’d rather travel light.
Don’t stress if you forgot any other essential items because the shops by the boardwalk have everything you need right there.
You can pack a lunch to save money, or grab something that won’t cut into your seashell hunting time at one of the many pizza places right near the water.
After a fun and exhausting day at the beach, you can bet everyone is going to be famished. Clean up and head out to Jake’s Smokehouse BBQ on General Booth Blvd.
The upbeat atmosphere will keep you in vacation mode, while the large portions of BBQ ribs and fried pickles will keep the kid’s hands busy.
You may have to hose them down before getting in the car, but you will all leave with full bellies and ready for the next day’s adventures.
