The 5th season of "Jersey Shore" takes place in which New Jersey town?

The fifth season of Jersey Shore takes place in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The cast returned to the shore town where much of the original series was filmed and where the group’s nightlife-centered lifestyle became its trademark.

Seaside Heights is a barrier-island resort community on the Jersey Shore, known for its beach, boardwalk, amusement attractions, bars, and clubs. Those locations provided the recognizable setting for the cast’s shared house, nights out, and many of the show’s recurring conflicts. Season 5 premiered in 2011 and brought the original cast back to New Jersey after the fourth season was filmed in Florence, Italy.

The answer is sometimes confused with Seaside Park, a neighboring borough, or with other New Jersey shore towns associated with the series. Seaside Heights is the canonical town named in the question. The show’s setting also helped turn the town’s boardwalk culture and nightlife into a major part of Jersey Shore’s pop-culture identity.
