March at the Jersey Shore is exciting; summer is just on the horizon, as are the days spent at our favorite local beaches. The feel-good atmosphere of the shore at this time of the year makes for a great time to commemorate Women’s History Month. As great as the Jersey Shore beach towns are, they would feel empty without the women who own the businesses everyone goes to before and after taking in the sun. Whether it’s a cute cafe, a fitness studio, or a beloved boutique, the women-owned businesses in these coastal areas are worth celebrating. Keep reading for a guide to women-owned businesses at the Jersey Shore.
