Inflation Still Impacting Summer Costs
According to research by Affinity, the cost of a day at the Jersey Shore has increased by 4% from last year to this year due to inflated prices of goods and services. Although this is a much less severe jump than the 16% increase we saw between the summers of 2021 and 2022, consumers will still likely feel the pinch in their wallets.
