I'm trying to plan a little family vacation and will be spending some time in Philly so I was thinking that we might stop at Six Flags Great Adventure/Safari in NJ and while we're so close by go to the beach for a few days. Any recommendations on beaches that would be nearby 6 flags that are family friendly with activities for the kids and adults that is fairly clean. Thanks!

As a kid I always enjoyed Wildwood. It's great for kids… and pretty decent for adults, I still enjoy spending a few days there now. It gets pretty busy though. Ocean City or Cape May aren't too bad either, but not a whole lot to do for kids. Not many attractions or theme parks. If you are looking for something with plenty of rides and games/activities I would suggest Wildwood.

Help vacation to Seattle?

    Ocean City, NJ is not too far from Philadelphia and is a dry town (meaning no alcohol is served at restaurants and is only sold before the bridges leading to the town). Every beach town has family activities, but OC is pretty clean and generally more free of the riff-raff you typically see at the Jersey shore.
