For the past two summers I have gone to the boardwalk in Asbury Park, NJ. The Asbury Park boardwalk was founded in the late 1800's and hosts the music club The Stone Pony, known for their past local performers Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen.
The boardwalk is currently undergoing a revitalization which can be seen in the opening of artist studios and workshops right on the boardwalk, and the addition of new boutique shops and cafes. While there I visited the local glassblowing workshop, Hot Sand, and La Placa Pottery. Both locations had artists working and answering questions about their studio, and also displayed some of their art inspired by the beach and shoreline.
Below are some photos that I took of the buildings on the boardwalk and their new Asbury Splash Park, a children's play space that was inspired by the garden.
