Welcome to This Week in Seaside Heights!

Each week through the fall, we’ll be telling you about fun events and activities in this family-friendly resort just across the road from Exit 82!

Now that summer is officially behind us, Seaside Heights is taking advantage of the festive fall season featuring a number of events and parades that the entire family can enjoy.

As ‘local’s summer’ winds down, the bay and ocean beaches are still open for a long stroll, while the arcades and restaurants also keep their doors open throughout the fall.

No matter what time of the year it is, it’s always a great time to visit Seaside Heights!
