Why Seaside Heights?
Seaside Heights is classic American beach culture: a mile-long boardwalk, arcades, pizza slices the size of your face, live music and sunsets over Barnegat Bay. The beach is literally steps from work. On your days off you can surf, play volleyball, ride the coaster you operate, or hop a bus to New York City (about 1.5–2 hours), Philadelphia or Atlantic City for a weekend adventure.
The town is packed with international students every summer, so you’ll build friendships with people from Bulgaria, Poland, Turkey, Jamaica, Ukraine and beyond – all working the same boardwalk and sharing the same once-in-a-lifetime experience.
