Seaside Heights is a borough in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 2,887,[8][9][10] reflecting a decline of 268 (-8.5%) from the 3,155 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 789 (+33.3%) from the 2,366 counted in the 1990 Census.[17] Seaside Heights is situated on the Barnegat Peninsula, a long, narrow barrier peninsula that separates Barnegat Bay from the Atlantic Ocean. During the summer, the borough attracts a crowd largely under the age of 21, drawn to a community with boardwalk entertainment and one of the few shore communities with sizable numbers of apartments, attracting as many as 65,000 people who are often out until early morning visiting bars and restaurants.[18]

Seaside Heights was incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 26, 1913, from portions of both Berkeley Township and Dover Township (now Toms River Township), based on the results of a referendum held on March 25, 1913.[19]

Seaside Heights is a resort community, with a beach, an amusement-oriented boardwalk, and numerous clubs and bars, making it a popular destination. Seaside Heights calls itself, "Your Home For Family Fun Since 1913!"[20] The beach season runs from March to October, with the peak months being July and August, when the summer population explodes to 30,000 to 65,000.[18][21] Route 37 in Toms River is routinely gridlocked on Friday afternoons in the summer months as vacationers travel to the barrier islands. The community is also known as the location of the hit MTV show Jersey Shore, with the director of the borough's business improvement district saying in 2010 that "we can't even calculate the economic benefit" to Seaside Heights from the continued presence of the show.[22]

Points of interest

Casino Pier

Casino Pier and Funtown Pier (partially located within both Seaside Heights and neighboring Seaside Park) are amusement parks, each situated on a pier extending approximately 300 feet (100 m) into the Atlantic Ocean. Each of the two piers are part of a boardwalk that stretches for 2 miles (3.2 km) and offers many family-friendly attractions ranging from arcades, to games of chance, to beaches, to the wide variety of foods and desserts, all within walking distance.[56] Breakwater Beach (formerly known as Water Works) is a water park situated across the street from Casino Pier.

Seaside Heights hosted the AVP volleyball tournament for two years during the summers of 2006 and 2007, with volleyball greats such as Karch Kiraly competing for the $200,000 purse.[57]

Disasters

June 9, 1955 a malfunctioning neon sign component caused a fire at a shop on the corner of Ocean Terrace, and DuPont Ave. The fire was driven by, what's estimated to be , 50 MPH winds, blowing the fire south, engulfing the entire pier. The fire was stopped at Stockton Ave, due in part to the fact that the boardwalk and pier ended there. As this is an old even, only photos, photos of articles from the "Newark Ledger", and a home video. {{citation}}: Empty citation (help)

March 8, 1962, Seaside Heights was affected by a nor’easter that had churned offshore for two days. The storm is referred to as the Ash Wednesday Storm, the Five High Storm and the Great March Storm of 1962.[58] During the storm, a large section of the boardwalk was destroyed.[59]

Destruction from Hurricane Sandy

Both piers suffered major damage on October 29, 2012, during Hurricane Sandy. Sections of both piers were torn apart by powerful storm surges and waves causing many of the rides to collapse into the ocean. Casino Pier began cleanup attempts soon after, in an attempt to reopen in time for the summer 2013 season.

September 12, 2013 a fire swept from the Funtown Pier northward. Winds drove the blaze quickly, that the firefighters had no initial tactical advantage in keeping the flames under control. The fire is believed to have started under the boardwalk, below the Kohr's Kustard stand, at the southern end of the pier. The wind pushed it northward, and fire crews were able to make a stand at Lincoln Ave., by tearing up the newly replaced boardwalk, destroyed less than a year ago by Hurricane Sandy.[60]

Jack & Bill's Bar, a landmark watering hole in Seaside Heights.

Seaside Heights is best known as the setting for MTV's reality TV series Jersey Shore. The first season of Jersey Shore was filmed in Seaside Heights and Toms River during August 2009. The show's third season was also filmed in Seaside Heights, during July, August, and September 2010.[61] After New York City officials nixed MTV's plans to hold a "Snooki Drop" at its studios in Times Square alongside the square's own ball drop, the event was moved to Seaside Heights.[62] The show returned to Seaside Heights for its fifth season, which wrapped filming on August 2, 2011 and began airing in January 2012. Later that month it was announced that the studio was scouting for a new location to film the upcoming sixth season of the reality show. Las Vegas and Australia were possible locations as well as Jersey City and Atlantic City.[63]

Prior to Jersey Shore, the town was also the setting of MTV's True Life: I Have A Summer Share, which was filmed in Seaside Heights, as was MTV's True Life: I'm a Jersey Shore Girl from 2004, which was one of the network's first stories of guidettes looking for the perfect guido.[56][64] Additionally, the MTV summer beach house was located in Seaside Heights for many summers in the early 2000s.[56][65]

In 1985, New Jersey rock band Bon Jovi filmed most of their music video for the song "In and Out of Love" in Seaside Heights, mainly on the boardwalk.[56][66]

Portions of the 2006 movie Artie Lange's Beer League were filmed in Seaside Heights.[67]

The ABC soap opera One Life To Live filmed a portion of its 2008 storyline in Seaside Heights, mainly on the beach and boardwalk.[68]

Hurricane Sandy damaged substantial portions of the boardwalk and flooded much of the town on October 29, 2012.[69] With a curfew set at 4:00 pm to prevent looting, a New Year's Eve party was held at the Beachcomber for hundreds of area residents at which the arrival of 2013 was celebrated at 3:00 in the afternoon.[70] The Jetstar roller coaster that fell into the water with the Casino pier has become somewhat of an attraction in itself. It was taken apart by a wrecker from Weeks Marine on May 14, 2013, just a short time after Prince Harry of Wales' visit to the site the same day with Governor Chris Christie.

On September 12, 2013, a ten-alarm fire started in a frozen custard shop in Seaside Park and spread to several boardwalk businesses in both Seaside Heights and Seaside Park.[71]
