There's not much to do in Long Branch. Point Pleasant isn't too much further and has a boardwalk that your kids might like. There aren't many nice hotels on the Northern NJ shore though that I know of. Mostly people rent houses if they vacation there.

If it were me getting in at that time after an 8 hour fight I'd probably just crash in a hotel near the airport for one night and then start the drive to Cape May first thing in the morning. Cape May is by far the nicest shore town in NJ, at least in my opinion. I'd probably want to spend most of the time there.

Asbury Park is fun this time of year.

I've heard good things about it, but somehow never get down there. I really should since it's only a little over an hour away from me. When I was growing up it was falling apart and neglected but I've heard that it's totally different now and worth visiting. I just haven't yet so I don't know much about it.

Great place! If you want to indulge, get a room at The Asbury Ocean Club. Expensive but amazing.
