Explore the Shore on the Silver Screen

From the boardwalk to the bay, the Jersey Shore boasts a rich but somewhat overlooked history of filmmaking along its 130 miles of beautiful coastline.

Atlantic City, Garden State's most iconic town, has been featured in dozens of critically acclaimed films, including, The King of Marvin Gardens (1972), Atlantic City (1980), and Desperately Seeking Susan (1985). Asbury Park, though largely known for its music scene, has graced the screen in numerous films, music videos, and television shows set/produced within the city's mere 1.61 square miles of land and water, including The Wrestler (2008), I Saw the TV Glow (2024), and Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025). Cinematic gems like Coyote Ugly (2000), Annie (1982), and A Complete Unknown (2024), and many others, were produced on location from South Amboy to Cape May. And of course, there is Kevin Smith, the Red Bank native whose cinematic love letters to his home state helped shift the face of independent film.

Author Marci Mazzarotto profiles over 130 films--spanning 110 years--along with sundry TV shows and music videos that contribute to the richness of Jersey Shore's film history.
