There's "America's Greatest Family Resort" (a slogan adopted in 1920), "Best Family Beach of 2005" (via the Travel Channel), "one of 32 dry towns in New Jersey" (since public alcohol consumption was prohibited in 1958) and "the drunkest city in New Jersey" (according to USA Today). These three properties will remind you that it's also home to some of the most desired  seaside real estate in the state.
