Valentine’s Day is coming up this weekend, why not try something a little different on the Jersey Shore this year? Aren’t you tired of the same old same old? Dinner and a movie with a box of chocolates has been done to death.
Branch out a little with us this weekend and check out some of the unique events that you and your loved one can take part in. From braving the cold, winter waters of the Atlantic to tasting delicious wines, the Jersey Shore has a lot to offer beyond just a night out at a fancy restaurant.
5) Valentine's Day Plunge:
What better way to celebrate the fiery passions of the heart than by taking a plunge in the ice-cold waters of the Jersey Shore’s Atlantic coast? The 10th annual Valentine Plunge takes place between 12 and 5 on Saturday, February 13th in Manasquan. Collected donations benefit ALS patients. There will also be prizes for largest dollar amount raised and fun prizes for the best dressed!

Don’t leave the kids at home this year. Jenkinson’s Aquarium in Point Pleasant Beach is offering a family special over the Valentine’s Day weekend, from Friday February 12th up to Sunday the 14th.
