    Good place to get some sweets
    Alison V.

    I have been going to the Boardwalk since I was a little kid (so about 23 years now). The place definitely has it's ups and downs. Sometimes the local kids get a little shady and hostile toward the tourists but I think that happens in any beach town in general. The boardwalk has lots of places to eat (I suggest Midway Steaks), dive bars, mini golf, a kid's ride pier, an adult ride pier, and a whole bunch of fun arcades. The only thing that would make this place even better is if all the arcades had the same tickets/coins so you could jump around and not have to cash out all the time (but I understand the whole independent business thing). Insider's tip: Go planning to have fun, use public restrooms when you can in arcades/food places because the ones along the beach can be quite smelly in the middle of summer.

    I was at Seaside Park for Labor day weekend and I was at the boardwalk everyday. There's so much to do!! The few food places I tried were 3 brothers pizza, steaks unlimited, kohrs custard, and waffle ice cream from some place I can't remember. They have 20+ choices of fried food. Anything you can imagine they have it! They have lots of rides and various thrill-seeking rides. I tried the slingshot and that thing was scary! I was such an adrenaline rush. It cost $20 per person. For the carnival rides i paid $25 for 45 tickets. 45 tickets seems like a lot, but it wasn't. For 2 people we were only able to get on 3 rides. There are plenty of shops, but most of them are tee shirt shops. There are a couple of shops where they sell other clothes besides tee shirts. This is a definite when your in Seaside Heights or near by towns.

    The Primetime Arcade at the Hershey's Shake Shoppe has the latest games anywhere.

    I really love the new Shake Shoppe Arcade. After Sandy destroyed the boardwalk this is the only arcade or attraction that rebuilt with a new façade and new games. The arcade is fun and the staff is friendly. One of the best things about the arcade is the giant ice cream cone out front. It is as tall as the building, I laughed as many people took pictures in front of it and pretended that they where holding it. I believe it is the most photographed icon on the boardwalk today. Now with the fire that devastated the boardwalk in the Park they are rebuilding everything and the entire place is going to be like new. It is a new era and the Shake Shoppe lead the way. When you are visiting Seaside Heights the Shake Shoppe arcade is one spot you have to visit.

    I had such an awesome time at Seaside. Avoid the reviews of people complaining about the type of people who come here.. it's the best part about coming to Seaside. The people watching. If you're on a diet.. avoid this place like that plague.. all you want to do is eat!! Every step there's pizza, fried oreos, fried twinkies, pried pickles, fried fried fried fried!!!!!! I think they'll fry anything if you want them too. And if you don't want fried food - go to Beachcombers and have some sushi. That's what we did and it was actually pretty decent quality. The amusement park is fun for the kiddies and the beach is awesome to lay out and get some sun. The water is much too cold for me, but I'm not coming here to swim. Don't buy your t-shirts at the Shore Store just because that's where the Jersey Shore Cast worked. There are much more shops to buy t-shirts at a lower price but it was fun to stop in and take pics of the place and Tom. Good times!!!

    This is the beach you go to if you are a tourist and want to see the side of the Jersey shore you see on TV. I would give it one star except it is still cleaner than most NY public beaches. Only a few of the beaches in Jersey are public you have to pay to get on the beach. It is about 8 dollars now in 2010 in most beach towns. In most beach towns in Jersey it helps to keep people off the beach who might make it dirty and not clean up. However the cost does not seem to deter those types from Sea Side Heights. It is a honky tonk beach with typical board walk food, beer, games and rides. They also have typical T shirt shops. I understand the nostalgia people are talking about I really do. However there are so many beach towns at the shore that offer rides and board walks that I see no need to go here unless as I said you want to see the Jersey shore made famous on TV. When I think of Sea Side Heights I think of clutter. Even their web site is cluttered. I would not stay at any of the motels there for fear of being too dirty.

We were really…read morebummed when Charlie's closed, as we've had a summer home here since the 90s and Charlie's was always a place to go and grab a special treat. Not to mention, I love supporting a small business such as the local ice cream parlor down the shore. The new owners definitely put a fair amount of work into this place to distinguish it from the old Charlie's. The ice cream shop is completely rebranded - the decor is modernized, sleek, and clean, which leaves an upscale feel to the place. I particularly love the mermaid scale wallpaper - very cute and beachy. It's also very brave of the Salty Scoop to market both ice cream and coffee because those are two very different things that are sold at different times of the day. However, while I am glad that there is an ice cream parlor here, I can't see myself or my family regularly returning to the Salty Scoop like we did Charlie's. For one, they offer a lot less flavors then other local ice cream parlors in the area. While their flavors are eclectic and interesting, the selection seems a little sparse compared to their biggest competitors (the place has two other local shops both north and south of it). But the biggest flaw of the Salty Scoop is its lack of soft ice cream. I'm not really sure why the owners have decided against having a soft ice cream machine - perhaps its because they want to showcase their fun hard flavors? - but I think it's a huge missed opportunity, especially considering this is an ice cream establishment down the shore. Last year, the Salty Scoop opened late in the season, and it had me wondering if they would add in a soft ice cream machine this year - not so. It just leaves me scratching my head. We usually keep ice cream in our freezers so hard ice cream is not something my family seeks. And while the ice cream here tastes fine, IMO it's not out-of-this world amazing that would keep me hooked and coming back for more (like, say, a gelateria). In addition, considering the whole kitsch to this place is 'cones and coffee,' I was a little disappointed to see there are basically two separate menus for ice cream and coffee. You can do A LOT with ice cream and coffee, especially in this modern social media age where a single, cool-sounding item can go viral online. (How about offering a coffee-cream shake that combines coffee and one of the fun flavors of ice cream?) One last thing - I noticed they added a branded Playa Bowls menu to their selection, which is an interesting move to get customers in on their part. While it is nice to have more selection, it yet again leaves me scratching my head and wondering what the true identity of the Salty Scoop is. Regardless, I really hope this place does well and makes it - especially since there is steep competition in the area when it comes to ice cream! The property would truly feel empty without an ice cream parlor. Bottom line - if you're a local in the area that is craving a scoop of ice cream, this will scratch that itch, although you may need to go elsewhere if you're seeking a little more selection.

(Sometimes twice a day) Sadly, halfway through our recent week, nobody wanted it anymore. Their product tastes the same, but portions have gotten small. Prices went up, and I don't mind that, but don't skimp on what you serve. It's just disappointing. There's even one server at this location that is really stingy. You barely get a swirl and a half on top of your cone. Ironically, I got a picture of him chowing down on a cone in the back! Last year, the regular size was satisfying and the large was a monster that you had fun finishing with your kids. This year, the regular cone is significantly smaller than prior years and large was similar to the regular. We switched to Summer Sweets in Lavallette for our daily fix and were much happier. Great flavors of ice cream, nice portions and it's actually cheaper than Kohr's.
