The New Jersey Shore's Spring Lake has been a seaside resort area since the early 20th century, attracting visitors with its quaint boutiques, sandy beaches and small town hospitality. Several bed and breakfasts, inns and hotels await visitors eager to enjoy the scenery and take advantage of the recreational opportunities, which include golfing at the Spring Lake Golf Club, hiking and biking, boating and waterskiing. Travelers seeking a romantic getaway appreciate the relaxing atmosphere and the town's boardwalk—the longest non-commercial boardwalk in New Jersey, an ideal place to watch the sunset or take an evening walk. The Spring Lake Historical Society Musuem provides visitors with a comprehensive look at the area's past, and includes artifacts and displays that aim to educate. No trip to Spring Lake is complete without a tour of the Third Avenue Historic Business District, which features specialty shops and boutiques, as well as restaurants serving everything from continental cuisine to home cooked meals.
