The Journal
Stories, guides & dispatches from Exit 98 Living
We cover the people, places, food, and culture that make the Jersey Shore between Manasquan Inlet and Bay Head worth the drive. New stories every week from local writers — beach guides, restaurant features, neighborhood deep-dives, and weekend itineraries you won't find on a chain travel site.
