Lots of places to stay right on the beaches in New Jersey. Most shore spots (In Jersey you go "down the shore" not "to the beach :D ) have motels within walking distance and then, of course there is Atlantic City with hotels right on the boardwalk

LOL - I'm originally from South Jersey and when I mention "going down the shore" people look at me funny.:o The New York sailaway is my absolute favorite of the cruises we've taken.

I grew up going to the NYC/Long Island beaches, but they are "commute-to" experiences. It's not as if you can book a hotel room on the beach at parking lot 5 at Jones. :)

 

True, but you could stay in midtown or downtown and hop a subway and spend the day on the boardwalk in Coney or Brighton. Both the subway and the neighborhoods are experiences in and of themselves.
