Yes, MTV's 'Jersey Shore' Wants To Film In Lavallette
And this is what the town is doing about it. It was the second New Jersey town in a matter of weeks that was approached by the MTV show.

MTV's "Jersey Shore" has filmed at a number of locations across the Jersey Shore. And the producers, Snooki et. al. thought they had a new one.
“Jersey Shore: Family Vacation" had recently picked Lavallette to film some of their latest escapades, Mayor Walter LaCicero confirmed to Patch. It was the second New Jersey town in a matter of weeks that was approached by the MTV show.
However reluctantly, Lavallette officials were ready to hear what the "Jersey Shore" crew was ready to do.

"They sent a letter asking if they could film here," LaCicero said. "We said we would need specifics about when and where."
But the producers never got back, though LaCicero said there was little the town could do if the show wanted to film on private property.

Public property is a different story, and Lavallette didn't appear to be ready to open its doors to the party-driven show.
"The reputation that the show has is not something we were interested in," LaCicero said.
As far as he's concerned, "It's a dead issue."
What the show was planing to do in Lavallette is not known. Last month, the Hamilton Township Committee voted to table a proposal from 495 Productions to film episodes of “Jersey Shore Family Vacation” in the Mays Landing section of the town, according to The Press of Atlantic City.

The committee was supposed to vote on the plan this month, but it's not known when, or if, it will come to a vote.
MTV wanted a "staycation episode" at an Airbnb rental property with some of the cast members for the next season, according to The Press of Atlantic City. The dates considered were Aug. 6 and 7 or Aug. 19 through 23.

The cast of "Jersey Shore" had been filming "Jersey Shore Family Vacation" out of Manalapan and other locations; specifically, 18 Kinney Road in Manalapan.
One episode this past season featured Snooki and Ronnie as the first roommates to arrive in the house, and they immediately proceed to make daiquiris and get drunk.
From there, a taxi picks them up — Snooki tells the driver he was rude and he should "watch his manners" — and they head to 618 Restaurant on Park Avenue in Freehold for dinner. Snooki can be heard saying "look at all these hos" as she walks in, and then orders a double Tito's with soda.
MTV originally wanted to film "Jersey Shore Family Vacation" at a home overlooking Barnegat Bay in Brick, but officials denied their permit request, saying they didn't want the area overrun with gawkers and crowds.
Brick Township Business Administrator Joanne Bergin told Patch that Brick denied the request by 495 Productions because officials determined it would have the potential to negatively impact the neighborhood, "not only due to the increased activity that comes with filming a TV show, but also the enhanced traffic and presence from curious onlookers and fans of the show hoping to meet/photograph/interact with the stars of the show."
"Using the house to film a TV show is not consistent with a standard residential use," she said at the time.
