About Asbury Park
Asbury Park is the Jersey Shore's iconic music and arts city — a Victorian-era resort town reborn around its boardwalk, live-music venues, and a thriving downtown. It blends historic districts of grand old homes, new downtown condominiums, beachfront apartments and rowhouses with a still-urban, year-round community. The boardwalk revival (Convention Hall, Paramount Theatre, the Stone Pony) anchors a food, nightlife, and LGBTQ-friendly cultural scene that draws visitors well beyond summer.
