    Wow. Just wow! Seating for a few thousand and a beautiful 2025 Christmas Pageant/Nativity. So…read morebeautiful and a tree lighting ceremony, too. Ocean Grove is a National treasure and a pride of the Methodist Church.

    Long before the trashiness of Wildwood, the tragedy of Atlantic City, or even the boardwalk bluster…read moreof Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, NJ beach culture was largely defined by a bunch of teetotaling, bible-thumping, tent-raising Methodists. At the height of the so-called Camp Meeting movement in the late 19th century, American Methodists regularly convened massive summer religious retreats on remote beach locations far from the sinful cities. Popular locations included Martha's Vineyard, Rehoboth Beach in Delaware (a personal favorite), and, of course, the "Queen of the Victorian Camp Meeting," Ocean Grove, NJ. Few places give you such a concentrated dose of NJ weirdness as Ocean Grove, especially when contrasted with nearby Asbury Park, which is just a short boardwalk away. Then and now, the heart of Ocean Grove remains The Great Auditorium: a massive 1894 wooden barn-like structure built for church services that also contains "one of the largest pipe organs of the world." Walking around the ancient auditorium and the nearby Victorian homes, you feel like you've walked onto the set of some seaside mystery or horror movie. Lurking in the shadow of the Great Auditorium, you can still see the famed "tent colony" of Ocean Grove--another holdover from the town's Victorian beach days. Every summer, families can enjoy 1870s-style luxuries like living in a canvas tent with no air conditioning and limited access to running water. For some reason, there's a long waitlist for this privilege, which I will never understand.
