2.0 out of 5 stars Unfortunately this is the best publishers have to offer on traveling to the shore, October 7, 2006

By	A. Lansing (Bethlehem, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used this book when I took my family to Ocean City at the end of the 2006 season. It is organized by topic rather than by place so it was hard to find the Ocean City specific items. Information in the book was also very much out of date. The Ocean City aquarium that the book referred us to had burned down 5 years ago. A nice restuarant that the book talked about was a vacant lot when we tried to visit it. This type of thing happened at least two other times. Things weren't entirely bad. There were some gems in the book, but you had to dig for them.

2.0 out of 5 stars okay as far as it went, May 21, 2001

By A Customer

Although I did find the book somewhat useful in giving an overview of what people might do for a weekend at the Shore, I was a little disappointed in how briefly the author described many of the attractions. The book didn't really seem to give a sense of what the places were really . Would especially have liked to know more about good places to eat, like mini-reviews, not just a few short listings. Also wuld have liked more general stuff to read and more detail on activities for children in preschool to middle school range. Just didn't seem to be a really serious effort to help first-time visitors or people in need of real information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Guide to The Jersey Shore, May 26, 1999

By A Customer

My wife and I love the Shore. We spend a lot of time there and found this book to be a great guide. It's not only accurate but it's also a really fun read! I love it and will be giving it as gifts to a few of my shore-loving friends.
