From Sand to Storefront: Jetty Opens New Storefront in Pier Village

Long Branch just scored a new summer essential—Jetty has officially opened the doors to its brand-new surf shop in Pier Village, Long Branch.

Centrally located steps from the sand, Jetty Long Branch carries the full lineup of the East Coast-born brand’s eco-minded apparel for men, women, and kids. You'll also find surfboards from respected shapers like Justin Perry and Brian Wynn, plus everything you need for a beach day—from sunblock and sandals to fins and wetsuit boots.

Founded in 2003 by five friends who wanted to “draw their own line,” Jetty is proudly surfer-owned and deeply rooted in East Coast surf culture. Their newest space is more than just retail—it’s a community hub for surfers, skaters, anglers, and ocean lovers alike.

Jetty Long Branch is located at 80 Ocean Avenue and is open daily from 10am–8pm.

Crash Into Summer: Dave Matthews Band Plays PNC

Monmouth County, it’s time to hit the lawn—Dave Matthews Band is back at PNC Bank Arts Center on Tuesday, June 3rd at 7:30 PM, and it’s shaping up to be a perfect mix of nostalgia and summer night magic. Expect barefoot dancing, long sax solos, and a crowd that knows how to keep things easygoing.

Tailgates will be in full swing, so get there early, fire up the grill, and let the pre-show beers flow. It’s not just a concert—it’s a whole scene. And if the stars align, you just might hear “Crash Into Me” as the perfect sendoff to a summer night.

AsburyFest 2025: A Weekend of Food, Music, and Community!

Looking for something fun to do this weekend? AsburyFest is back June 6–8, and it’s basically the ultimate kickoff to summer. We’re talking three days of live music, local eats, cold drinks, and good vibes—all going down at Bradley Park in Asbury Park. This isn’t your average street fair.

Pro tip: Friday night is free to get in, Saturday and Sunday are just $5, and kids under 6 get in free—so grab some friends and ease into the weekend. Vets, military, and first responders don’t pay a dime either. Dogs are welcome too, so bring your well-behaved pup and make it a full-on family outing.

AsburyFest is basically the unofficial “summer starts now” moment in Asbury Park—so if you're ready for sunshine, good food, and great tunes, this is your weekend. Catch you by the stage! 🎶🍻
