Princeton and its attractions for beach lovers

While Princeton, New Jersey, is renowned for its prestigious university and charming historic streets, it doesn't boast a beach of its own. However, adventurous families can take a short drive to nearby coastal areas such as Sandy Hook or Long Beach Island, where pristine sandy shores await. At Sandy Hook, you can explore the serene beaches, bike along scenic paths, and catch stunning sunsets over the Atlantic. Long Beach Island offers a more vibrant beach scene with family-friendly activities like water sports, boardwalk amusements, and fresh seafood dining options. For those who appreciate nature, the nearby Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park offers picturesque trails perfect for hiking and kayaking. When planning your stay, consider the enchanting neighbourhoods around Princeton, where charming inns and hotels offer a blend of comfort and personalised service, ensuring your family feels pampered. While beaches may not be right on your doorstep in Princeton, the quick access to coastal delights makes it a worthy base for your summer adventure.

10/10 Excellent
"The king room met my expectations and the staff was great. They had a big event that took over the hotel but we didn't really notice. Great place. Parking was a bit tight but ample in the back."
