Nothing like a trip down the shore for the beach and boardwalk. Let’s visit Betty’s Ice Box for some Hawaiian-style shaved ice!

I have been focusing on doing a weekly Adventure Day with my kids this summer, and each week we head off in a different direction. Our most recent Adventure Day took us to Asbury Park for an afternoon on the boardwalk, and that’s when we discovered Betty’s Ice Box. Although my youngest was on a quest for fried Oreos, which we successfully checked off our list, I was on the hunt for something much colder and more refreshing. It was about 90 degrees that afternoon and when I spied the sign for shaved ice, I knew it was exactly what I wanted.

Tucked right inside the entrance of the Asbury Park Convention Hall, Betty’s is a cute little spot with a varied selection of cool and refreshing treats. There are a few tables right outside their door if you want to stay for a bit, and we took that opportunity to rest while my oldest and his friend checked out the stores nearby.
