You make the Jersey Shore sound so romantic. I've never been--I live about as far away from Jersey as is possible and still remain on the same continent.<br /><br />I have a favourite book setting--in an as-yet unpublished SF novel of mine. It's the shore of Lake Bennett, in Carcross, in the Yukon. The most amazing beach in the world, with the lake surrounded by incredible mountains.

I remember being a kid and making the drive to Wildwood and Ocean City during the summer. And salt water taffy! Yum. Love it. I love books set at the beach, and I love book set in New England - especially the rocky shores. It makes me want to move there - until I remember that Nor'easters are rarely that romantic.
