South Jersey Places that give us “The Summer I Turned Pretty” vibes

Conrad and Jeremiah not included.  I know, we’re bummed about it too. 

The final season of Amazon Prime’s ” The Summer I Turned Pretty” returns July 16th and we can’t help but notice how the show reminds us of certain South Jersey locations.

Morey’s Piers

Host your own great boardwalk showdown with Morey’s Piers endless Boardwalk games. Aim your water guns, spiral some footballs, toss a few rings and the loser has to ride the AtmosFear. (Or if you really want to raise the stakes, the loser has to right the StingShot – you know, where you’re slingshotted into the air. Yikes.) 

Beach Plum Farm

Do Susannah proud by setting your vacation tone right with the gorgeous views – and delicious treats, including muffins – at Beach Plum Farm. The sprawling farm is finished with bright flowers and picturesque seating areas, and features local eats. Whether you stop by for the day, for a meal or to stay the weekend, you’ll feel like you stepped into Cousins. 

Coffee Talk

We all know “The Summer I Turned Pretty” is synonymous with Taylor Swift, thanks to that elite soundtrack. So a “The Summer I Turned Pretty” summer wouldn’t be complete without a visit to one of Swift’s childhood haunts, when she would spend summers at Stone Harbor. Stop by Coffee Talk, where the superstar would perform acoustic sets as a teen, for a pick-me-up and sweet treat before you hit the beach. 

Beach Volleyball

Channel your inner Belly with a volleyball break on the beach. The volleyball courts just off the Boardwalk at 19th St. in Ocean City are open to the public, all you have to do is bring your own volleyball. 

Wetlands Institute 

Need a moment to yourself to decide between the two heartthrob brothers who are obsessed with you – but with a gorgeous view? The Wetlands Institute has lots of trails around the marshes, an elevated walkway and a dock that stretches out over the bay to provide with views of the ocean, calming sounds of local birds and plenty of peace and quiet. 

Cape May Whale Watchers

Cam Cameron, is that you? You might not see Cam Cameron aboard this whale watching vessel, but there’s a chance you could see an actual whale, or some dolphins. Cape May Whale Watchers offers day cruises, sunset cruises, dinner cruises and special events through the summer.
