2015 Re-post: The Oceanic Inn is considered to be the least expensive place to stay in A.Park. It is one block from the ocean and is near the Stone Pony and the Asbury Lanes. Will throwbacks like this be kept alive as Asbury rolls into the 21st century? How is that possible? It is prime real estate, but it also has value as an authentic piece of history in a unique Jersey Shore town. Which value will society allow to prevail?
I guess we know. After all, they tore down the Palace Amusements and dismantled the Carousel.*

February, 2022; We have learned from the Coaster that the Inn will be torn down and replaced by condominiums. Only the memories will be left.
