All of our featured hotels, inns and bed and breakfasts are within easy walking distance of all the Sand Blast Weekend events, the boardwalk, Convention Hall, Fifth Avenue Beach and our historic downtown Asbury Park shopping district. Our neighboring town of Ocean Grove is full of small inns and B&B’s and is just a five minute walk down the boardwalk. Very convenient. Below is a list of our local favorites, along with some larger hotels that are a very short drive from the beach. All these venues WILL sell out so don’t wait to book your Sand Blast stay!

The Hotel Tides is what every Jersey shore resort needs, but few have; a charmingly hip 20-room boutique hotel with a pool, high quality restaurant, and a spa. The Hotel Tides will sell out early. HotelTides.com

Cheap, Dive Motel -Make This A Last Choice - 2 Miles to Asbury
The Crystal Inn Motel used to be a Howard Johnson’s but those days are over. It is very centrally located at the intersection of Route 66 and Route 35, it’s close to Asbury Park, with easy taxi access to the beach and it is probably the cheapest place you’ll find to stay, but don’t expect anything other than a low-level motel here. Kind of smelly, needs paint, the mattresses look lumpy. They are “renovating” the bathrooms in granite to try to improve their status. Read YELP or TRIP ADVISOR on this motel to make sure you are okay with this.
All rooms have cable TV including HBO. The rooms, accessed from central hallways through two outside security doors, have individual balconies. All rooms are fully and individually air-conditioned/ heated and have refrigerators and microwave ovens. They also provide complimentary wireless internet
