Take a walk along Spring Lake Beach, relax by the water, or catch the sunset on the boardwalk. September is the perfect time to enjoy the Jersey Shore without the peak-summer crowds.

Take a stroll along one of the longest non-commercial boardwalks in New Jersey. It's a great spot for a morning walk or a little fresh air before the festivities.

Grab a coffee, browse the local shops, and enjoy the charming streets around town.

Just a few minutes away, Belmar has a lively downtown, plenty of restaurants and bars, and a beautiful beach and boardwalk.

Head about 10 minutes north to explore the Asbury Park Boardwalk, Convention Hall, local shops, restaurants, and bars. It's a fun place to spend a few hours before or after the wedding.

Because you're at the Jersey Shore, an ice cream stop is basically required.

Sticking around for the weekend? Head out and experience a little Jersey Shore nightlife! Grab some drinks, listen to live music, or head out dancing with friends. Belmar and Asbury Park are both great options for bars, restaurants, and a fun night out—and they're just a short drive from Spring Lake.
