💡 Answer to Trivia Question:
Spring Lake's boardwalk is a non-commercial boardwalk — two miles long with no shops, vendors, or food stands, the longest of its kind in New Jersey. The town's nickname is the "Irish Riviera," earned from having the highest concentration of Irish ancestry of any town in America (39.4% per the 2000 census, and reportedly popularized by Spring Lake hotels in the 1920s marketing to wealthy Irish clientele).
