With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Surf City, 50 miles away, has to offer. Surf City Pier should be at the top of your list here. Ohana Paddle Sports and Mia’s Marketplace are excellent attractions too. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Cedar Point, 17 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Cedar Point Tideland Trailhead. (But we’re also huge fans of Salty Air Open Market and Barrier Island Kayaks.)
