Spring Lake, NJ Shirts

Two miles of boardwalk with nothing for sale on it: that is Spring Lake's entire sales pitch, and it has worked for a century and a half. Laid out in the 1870s as a resort for city families, the town kept its shore deliberately quiet, and the boardwalk, often cited as the longest non-commercial stretch in New Jersey, still offers no arcades, no stands, no noise, just planks, dunes, and the Atlantic. Behind it rise blocks of Victorian houses with deep porches and serious hedges, and at the center of town sits the spring-fed lake that gave the place its name. Generations of Irish American families summered here so faithfully that the town picked up an affectionate nickname involving a certain riviera. Our Spring Lake design keeps the promise of the place: a long, empty boardwalk running the length of the composition, Victorian rooflines behind the dunes, the ocean calm beyond. No neon anywhere, which is exactly the point. Spring Lake businesses are added to this page as they join ShirtMap.
