| Over 100 years ago, acres and acres of beautiful farmland inspired Reverend Alphonse Willits to envision a seaside resort. |
| |
|
That dream came true and stays true today.
Spring Lake is a wonderful mixture of old and new. It combines the serenity and peace of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century lifestyle with current day fashionable shops and entertainment.
|
 |
| Visitors bask in the Victorian charm of the community, enhanced by the preserved architecture and hospitality. The long beach attracts families and sunbathers and warm summer nights find couples along the boardwalk enjoying the soft ocean breezes. |
| |
| The Spring Lake beach and its boardwalk alone create a perfect haven. |
|
Yet, just a short stroll from the beach, visitors can also browse and enjoy the quaint village shops and restaurants. At the center of the hamlet is the park that surrounds the lake that inspired the town's name. There, lovely old fashioned wooden bridges accent the natural setting that encourages contemplative meandering and repose. |
| |
The area is known locally as the "Irish Riviera", a name given when Martin Maloney's huge estate, "Ballingarry", dominated the area. |
 |
|
Where else would Irish Centre owner, Mary Reilly, place the gem of boutiques that has come to be widely recognized as synonymous with the highest quality of Irish imports?
Spring Lake and the Irish Centre complement each other well - the picturesque town is a most suitable backdrop for the intimate shop and its exquisite products.
