I popped into in Atlantic Highlands for the first time on Saturday and I was completely overwhelmed by all the fabulous things they had. They have a beautifully curated selection of items from home decor to vintage clothes/bags to high end grocery items.

Their vintage clothes//bags/shoes are in mint condition and very well priced - I ended up leaving with a mini wardrobe (and a disco ball candle I didn’t know I needed )🪩😂 and there are still things I want to go back for !

The best part is that the store is a collaboration between the ladies of a group of talented rocker-moms with awesome original music.

Pop in for holiday shopping or a little something for yourself - you won’t have a hard time finding something fun. 🤩

is such a warm, cozy spot with an excellent menu. They can accommodate any size group at either a table or at the large bar in the center. There were 6 of us and everyone loved the meal and experience. I’m excited - to go back and sit at the bar for prime people watching, wine 🍷 & apps 🍴

When it’s windy & cold but you still need to get out for some entertainment - check out a movie in Atlantic Highlands. It’s owned by - a Highlands native famous for cult classics like Clerks & movies based in his hometown area. His newest - the 430 Movie is a ❤️ letter to a must-see !

There are several great places on First Ave to grab a drink & snack before or after the movie. We love hanging out the Atlantic House - whether you want to sit at the great bar or at a table and have a meal. We also drool 🤤 over the ‘cue

Dining ☀️ day & 🌚 night

We had guests staying over Thanksgiving - they managed to save their dinner during the power outage by grilling the turkey 🦃

🦈 is a locals’ favorite restaurant right over the Highlands - Seabright Bridge. The food is great and I’ve enjoyed LOTS of their jalapeño Margs but what keeps people coming back is their casual beach vibe that’s done just-right…. all year except for a short January-ish break.

🐠You’d think I’d have better pictures but it’s always packed and I don’t want to be a creeper 🤣 I’ll share a reel of theirs in my stories. Better yet go check it out yourself - make a reservation or try your luck at the bar - we 💙 people watching there too🌊

🇩🇪Claudia & Christian and their 2 kids have been guests at the Beach Lodge for 2️⃣ summers - They are from Germany but once lived in Atlantic Highlands. They come back for an extended stay every couple years, booking the Beach Lodge because they say it feels like their home away from home.

I love hosting and getting to know my guests so naturally, we have become friends. When it came time to book our beer journey through Germany, not only did they help guide us to the best places, they came to meet us in Bamberg❣️

🍻We had an amazing time catching up, visiting our favorite German brewery eating traditional German fare, and walking around this majestic little city.

🍺I love that through my hosting journey I have been able to make friends all over the world !!!

🍻PROST 🥨❗️🇩🇪

🧺Pack a picnic and wander over to the Gertrude Ederle park sitting at the top of the hill near the Highlands-Seabright Bridge with spectacular views of Sandy Hook Bay & the marina.

🌸The small but beautiful park was named after Gertrude Ederle. ‘Trudy’ an Olympic Champion, grew up in NYC and spent her summers in Highlands. She was the first woman to swim across the English Channel….beating the record set by the previous male swimmers 🏊‍♀️
