Strollo's Lighthouse — Restaurant in Long Branch

Quick pointers: Cash only! No more than a dozen parking spaces. Super friendly staff. Must visit if you're visiting the beaches in Long Branch.

Refreshing dessert spot for soft-serve ice cream and Italian ice. A stone's throw from Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park, this is the perfect cap to a long day at the beach.

The soft-served ice cream is flavorful, and not overly sweet. The Italian ice maintains itself in a rich, creamy slush that is less watery compared to a lot of other Italian ice places. Additionally, there is a variety of unique flavors of the Italian Ice (the peanut butter is a must!) to try.

There is an ATM on-site if your stranded with just cards. The prices are what you would expect for frozen treats, averaging around $5.25.

Outside speakers offer some mild rock and roll and oldies as you sit at the round picnic tables on the premises, ultimately contributing to the beach vibes and making the Jersey Shore experience simply...

I first discovered this place through an Instagram posting, and I knew I had to check them out. This is such an adorable cash only ice cream shop. The structure alone is very eye-catching and appealing. They have your standard flavors of ice cream of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, but they also have the flavors of the week. They also have homemade ices and sundaes, and everything they sell is reasonably priced. I ordered the salted caramel pretzel and chocolate cone, and both flavors tasted great. The staff here is friendly as well. Major plus is that they have plenty of on-site parking and outdoor seating. If you don't have any cash handy, they have an ATM on the premises as well. This place is too cute and is definitely worth checking out. I look forward to coming back in the future the next time I travel through...
