Did you know this about Surf City?

In 2012, Hurricane Sandy deposited the Jet Star roller coaster into the ocean, creating one of the most iconic images of the storm. Less than a year later, a fire destroyed much of the rebuilt boardwalk.

The 1916 Jersey Shore shark attacks that inspired Jaws included an attack at Spring Lake that killed a swimmer—one of four fatal attacks that summer.

In 1934, the burning cruise ship Morro Castle ran aground at Asbury Park. The disaster killed 137 people, but morbidly became a tourist attraction as crowds paid to view the wreck.
