Long Branch, New Jersey - 80 minutes from Midtown

Beach Bee Meadery is right near the boardwalk in Long Branch, and they have a big outdoor area where you can try their brewed mead, hard cider, and spiced apple cider. Do you even like mead? Who cares. It’s fall. Beach Bee is open from Tuesday to Sunday starting at noon. As a bonus, this place is a ten-minute walk from the ocean, so you should probably bring a towel and sit on the sand in a fleece.
