Asbury Park Named Top Momcation Destination

A popular Jersey Shore town has earned national recognition as one of America’s best destinations for mothers seeking a well-deserved getaway, according to a newly released ranking by mobility services company SIXT.com.

Asbury Park ranked 19th on the prestigious list of top “momcation” destinations nationwide, making it the only New Jersey location to receive this coveted distinction.

Beach Town Offers Perfect Mom Escape

The Monmouth County coastal gem earned praise for providing “a laid-back yet lively escape for moms looking to recharge by the sea,” according to Patch. The ranking highlighted Asbury Park’s unique blend of relaxation and entertainment options.

The study analyzed search trends, resort options, spa facilities, noise levels, and social media popularity to identify destinations offering “the perfect mix of fun and total relaxation, no responsibilities required.”

Cultural and Coastal Attractions

“Moms can browse vintage shops and art galleries, enjoy live music at the iconic Stone Pony, or unwind with ocean views at one of Asbury Park’s boutique hotels and wellness spots,” noted the SIXT report, emphasizing the town’s creative atmosphere.

The combination of fresh seafood dining, beautiful beaches, and a vibrant downtown area with shopping opportunities contributed to the shore town’s strong showing in the national ranking.

National Competition

Asbury Park joined prestigious vacation spots including Sedona, Arizona (ranked #1), Napa Valley, California (#4), and Charleston, South Carolina (#12). Other notable destinations in the Northeast included Newport, Rhode Island (#11), and Montauk, New York (#13).

The recognition comes as Mother’s Day approaches and many families are planning summer vacations, potentially boosting tourism for the Jersey Shore town during the upcoming season.

Perfect Timing for Summer Planning

This national recognition arrives just as the summer tourist season approaches, potentially bringing increased attention to Asbury Park’s businesses and accommodations.

Local tourism officials expect this designation to attract more visitors seeking the distinctive blend of relaxation and entertainment that earned Asbury Park its place among America’s best “momcation” destinations.
