Greetings from Asbury Park! (via Tinton Falls)
As New Jersey-based manufacturers, we here at Ranger Industries are fiercely proud of our state -- particularly of its beautiful beaches which are only a hop, skip and a jump from our factory doors! We know that the Jersey Shore may not have the best of reputations these days, thanks to certain reality shows, so we thought we'd take all of our fans on a virtual tour to the nearby Asbury Park beach to show how awesome it really is. (And we promise, no fist-pumping!)
The famous Asbury Park casino.
Colorful umbrellas on the beach!
Water splash park for the kiddies.
Baywatch, NJ style!
Walking the boards.
Young musicians.
Browsing the shops!
Hot dog stand outside the Pinball Museum.
Parasailers, up up and away!
What is your favorite spot for spending these long, lazy summer days?
Ok I just got my swim costume on.....am off to start swimming the pond to visit such a gorgeous place, I may be a while xx

I like to spend my free time fishing in the White River for trout. The water is soooo cold that you don't even mind the heat. I also love to go swimming.

Weather here in the UK hasn't been too great this Summer but when we get good spells there is nothing nicer than finding a lovely quite spot near a gentle river and just watch the world float away.

We like to go camping at Hwy K. camp grounds on the Black River in Missouri.

Finding ANYWHERE warm and sunny would be perfect here in rainy England. What Summer? Wish we had one this year.....
Could you send a little sunshine in one of your bottles, please?

My fav spot since I live in the Phoenix area would be anywhere in a beautiful cool mountain area in the summertime, but the rest of the year I LOVE the desert! Fun pix -- wish I was there now enjoying it (& maybe I could shop at Ranger too?)!!!

I would like to be soaking up summer in NJ now! I try to get to the shore (Newport, RI and Mystic, CT are two faves) and when I can't, I find the nearest clam shack and pretend I'm there.

So many people having so much fun. I've been having fun helping my husband design/build a masterbedroom/bath addition onto our home. So my days are pretty busy - plus I work fulltime. My few minutes of funtime a day are spent in my artroom "The Paint Pit Studio" working on all kinds of projects. Thanks for sharing the pictures - it looks lovely - you're vey lucky to be that close.

I lived in NJ for 30 years! Just visited in July and we went to the beaches! I love NJ but now living in AZ I dont miss the humidity!!!
Posted by: Beth Phillips | August 16, 2011 at 09:00 PM
Looks like loads of fun. I live in the South with outrageous humidity; so, my favorite place to be, is in my house with the air conditioning on.

Thanks for the memories. I lived in Pluckemin when I was a little girl. My older sister used to go to Asbury all the time.

Asbury Park is the best!!! Thanks for sharing it with your readers.....I have spent almost every day there this summer and love it!!!!

Does look like a fun area! thanks for sharing your 'neighborhood' with us. We like to hit the North Carolina coast and when we're home, we kayak a lot in the local rivers.
