DIRECTIONS & INFORMATION

Our Location

The James is within walking distance of Main Avenue with its many shops, restaurants, and cafes. It's also close to historic Asbury Park, which boasts art galleries, music venues, antique shops, and a boardwalk. Other popular Jersey Shore attractions, like the Monmouth Park Race Track and the PNC Bank Arts Center, are an easy car ride away.

Plus, with our location just one block from the beach, guests enjoy a variety of warm weather activities such as swimming, sunbathing, boating, and fishing. In the cooler months, take a stroll along the boardwalk and enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Or bike along our tree-lined streets, which house the largest assemblage of authentic Victorian architecture in the nation.
