Ocean-Grove , called a "Victorian Village by the Sea," is located on the Jersey Shore south of Asbury Park. This relaxing beach getaway was formed by the Methodist church in 1869 as a summer retreat and has managed to retain its' small town charm and uniqueness throughout the decades. Ocean Grove is a town made for walking - the streets are safe and the residents are friendly. It's listed on the National Register of Historic Places and claims to have the largest aggregate of Victorian architecture in New Jersey. The Historical Society sponsors many Historic House Tours during the summer months on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Ocean Grove has pretty tree-lined streets, quaint shops and a variety of restaurants. A popular retreat, it is nonetheless unspoiled by commercialism and still retains a strong sense of religious commitment - it is also a "dry" town. Another "must see" in town is The Great Auditorium. Built in 1894, this huge Victorian structure seats 7,000 people and is still used today for concerts and special events. Ocean Grove has a picturesque boardwalk (with no concessions on it) with gorgeous views of the ocean. The beach is open Memorial Day through Labor Day and offers organized beach activities on Saturdays during July and August. You can enjoy swimming, sunning and surfing, and fishing is allowed off the pier and the rock jettys. Golf is available at many area courses. An annual Giant Flea Market is held in town in June and September and is one of the largest in the state. Ocean Grove is just an hour from both Philadelphia and New York City.
