Scranton, situated in the northeastern part of Pennsylvania, is landlocked (like much of the state) and the closest beach is at least a 2-hour drive away.
From northern Pennsylvania, the Sandy Hook unit of Gateway National Recreation Area, approximately 95 miles east of Bethlehem, includes an historic fort, lighthouse, and beaches on Sandy Hook Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
Asbury Park, 13 miles south of Sandy Hook, famous as Bruce Springsteen's stomping grounds, has a six-block-long boardwalk lined with amusement rides, arcades, eateries, and bars, including the Stone Pony, made famous by Springsteen and other performers such as Bon Jovi.
Avon-by-the-Sea, barely two miles south of Asbury Park, is a Victorian village with a quiet, non-commercial boardwalk and white sandy beaches.
