The popular travel website, travelandleisure.com, made their list of the 50 best destinations across the world for 2023 by asking Travel + Leisure's editors where they want to go in 2023.

Selections were vided by category, and for Beach Vibes, The Jersey Shore made the list among the top destinations in the world!

Other places that were in the "Beach Vibes" category included Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Coastal Uruguay, Guadeloupe, Maui, Hawaii, Riviera Maya, Riviera Nayarit, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Here's what Travel & Leisure had to say:

The Jersey Shore, New Jersey

“The real thing is quite different from TV,” George told T+L. Now a hotelier, Distefano grew up on the Jersey Shore — and today is doing his part to change the narrative around the beloved summer destination. His latest project, The James Bradley, is a 17-room inn that opened in Bradley Beach in August 2022 and is aimed at a crowd that’s perhaps quieter, chicer, and altogether less interesting to MTV producers. In nearby Asbury Park, which has long been a barometer of development, openings of The Asbury Hotel and the Asbury Ocean Club and Residences signal the start of a bougier era. Even Atlantic City is now substantially more chic, after many casino resorts, including Bally’s, Caesars, and Ocean, used the pandemic-induced dip in visitors to undertake hundreds of millions of dollars in renovations. “The area as a whole has had a bit of a renaissance,” Distefano said. One telling indicator of where the Shore is headed next? A Nobu Hotel is slated to open on the boardwalk any day now. — Hannah Walhout
