Best beach? Where’s Asbury?

March 22, 2019 by Blogfinger

Asbury Park July 2016

 

By Paul Goldfinger, Editor@Blogfinger.net

I’ve come to the conclusion that all those “best” lists are created by payoffs. After all, how can Asbury Park be one of the world’s best beach towns, better than famous beaches in California, Australia and Florida?

As a result, we have ignored those lists lately, because the A. Park that we know is usually awarded top billing on those lists. The only list I ever saw with Ocean Grove was some years ago, when we were rated higher than AP as the best place for gay folks.

However, to those of you who are cynical, as I am, about this subject, I did find a list that excluded A. Park. Maybe the payoff was too high for the Cookman crowd and iStar’s publicity department

2. San Diego

3. Sarasota

20. San Juan, Puerto Rico
