It’s beautiful, Clark! Your guide to decorated OCNJ homes and trees

OCNJ Beach Christmas Trees

One of the best holiday traditions on the island is taking a tour of the 15+(!) Christmas trees put up with care and love. Most have a theme and an interactive element and several light up at night. Visit them all and leave your mark, with a note on a shell – or an ornament to contribute. Drop into our DMs or send a note to [email protected] if you have any more details on the trees listed or know of one we didn’t mention. This list will continue to be updated.
