![]() ![]() One of the reasons Morey’s Pier is such a popular summer attraction has something to do with all of the rides. So many rides, all the time in the world and solar-powered kids Sadly, this wouldn’t be our last encounter with these aerial food thieves, more on that later. It was a feather and squawking bird drive-by (fly-by?)We laughed it off and the BeaverTails staff made us another order. Apparently, this unique dessert has expanded beyond the human palate, because just as soon as the server placed our order on the counter a squawking colony of Black Headed Gulls descended from above and made off with our BeaverTails. The BeaverTails® kiosk offers 9 different flavors, but you can also create your own combination of deliciousness. These babies border on dangerously addictive. And, in addition to being topped with sugar or cinnamon, this tasty treat can be loaded with a lot of different toppings ranging from chocolate hazelnut spread and bananas or chocolate hazelnut spread topped with Reese’s® Pieces and peanut butter. It turns out “beavertails” are a fried whole-wheat pastry kinda like a funnel cake or churro, except this one, is long and flat like a beaver’s tail, hence the name. While thumbing through the pages we encountered something we hadn’t seen before, BeaverTails®. When you open up it is overflowing with all manner of entertainment options, can you say overwhelmed? But it is the food recommendations that will make you drool. Inside our hotel room, there was this cool and very informative book titled, Where To Eat, Shop, Stay and Play in the Wildwoods by Exit Zero Publications. Practically every couple of feet there’s a restaurant with something yummy to sell you and that’s a good thing. The smell of food is unavoidably everywhere. ![]() If you spend enough time on the boardwalk you’re going to eventually get hungry. And I must admit there is nothing quite like warm summer sand between your toes.īeaverTails® are apparently on the Black Headed Gull’s menu Okay, even though I didn’t win I still had a pretty good time racing the boys. Me and two of the boys raced down to see who could put their feet in the Atlantic Ocean first. Now, in perfect and aquatic contrast, on the other side of the boardwalk, you’ll see undulating ocean waves, which ended up luring us down to the beach. Picture this, one side of the boardwalk is lined with quaint shops hawking all manner of carnival wares from food (Funnel Cake anyone?) to endless games and kitschy memorabilia. New Jersey, so far, is being on it’s best behavior. Basically, we left Michigan with its intolerable rain and major mosquitoes infestation, and a few hours later we’re beneath clear New Jersey skies, basking in 90-degree weather, enjoying the ocean breeze and a most wonderfully curious thing, no mosquitoes! This vacation is already shaping up nicely. So we hoofed it to the hotel, it’s only a 10-minute walk, no biggie. For $8 the wife, the twins, and our luggage got a lift to the Starlux Hotel.īut since the Uber folks can only transport four passengers at a time our youngest boy and I felt like being adventurous. Now on the final leg of our journey, we use the Uber app to get a ride from the bus station to our hotel. You could say this vacation is partly sponsored by public transportation and Uber. But remember we don’t have a rental car, funny car or a side car. After disembarking from the bus we’re close to our destination. Now that is a major savings! Then, we took an hour Greyhound bus ride from Atlantic City to Morey’s Piers, which costs us a mere pittance ($17). After landing at Atlantic City International Airport (thanks Spirit) we grabbed a cab and headed to a nearby Greyhound station in Atlantic City, and it only costs $27 and for a family of 5. For one, on the first leg of our two city tour, we don’t have a car (oh boy), but we figured it out. ![]() This time, we did things a bit differently. When as soon as you board the plane and have taken off you’ve already arrived at your destination and your flight is landing. It’s time to check off another vacation spot on our Travel Bucket List! When googling some of the best family vacation spots, Morey’s Piers came up as one of the top destinations for family beach boardwalk vacations!
