It’s the summer, it’s hot, and people like to go to the beach and get their drink on. So the folks over at Thrillist drafted up The 21 Best Beach Bars in America List (View List).

They concur that while bringing your own booze to the beach can be fun, it’s always better to have someone serve you. Especially when it’s a bartender!

Since there’s no lack of drinking at our very own Jersey Shore, it should come as no surprise that TWO watering holes made the list this year. Donovan’s Reed in Sea Bright (Visit Website) was highlighted for it’s seven individual bars, cover bands and plenty of fried food. The Rusty Nail in Cape May (Visit Site) got props for being “charming” with ivy-laced brick to the expansive sandy patio.
