The stores on Back Street are a little
less high-end but just as interesting.
They tend to specialize more in
ready-to-wear sportswear and
there is no better place to look for
the name-brand jeans and sports
shoes that you crave. Whatever
it is you are shopping for, it is
a good idea to browse through
both streets as you may well find
some unexpected bargains.
The beachside Boardwalk is lined with a profusion of bars and restaurants and is an ideal place to
stroll, sunbathe or go for a swim. For history buffs, the site of Fort Amsterdam, at the west end of
Great Bay is a stirring place to visit. It was built in 1631 by the first Dutch settlers. The same people
who founded New Amsterdam, a little town that would one day be called... New York.
