    One of the cleanest beach in NJ. Water is clean too. This beach doesn’t get too crowded and the boardwalk is really nice. Parking is a big problem here. You need to spend good amount of time to find good parking although beach side parking is $20 cash if you are lucky to find empty spots. They do have public restrooms at the entrance of boardwalk. You can find plenty of restaurants near pier village and Brighton ave. There is a $7 entry pass depending on what side of beach you enter.

    The beach was really pleasant and pretty clean! The water was not at all cold especially for early September. The beach was really awesome for a sunrise! there were many interesting stuff to see and the boulders in many different areas make a great addition for various reasons. It is a really spacious beach. I added a lot of pictures so you can see for yourself!

    It's a beautiful place to experience perfect sunrise! Both the boardwalk and the water is clean. Very peaceful and calm! 💗 Try getting here an hour before the sunrise to get the best experience. Do carry jacket, it could get chilly! There weren't many people when I visited, of course it was sunrise time 😅 Get extra pair of clothes, towel, bag to store wet cloths if you plan to swim!!

    Heads up! It's a good idea to bring CASH. Especially if you want to rent beach chairs and umbrellas. Also, the tickets for the beach are about 30% cheaper if you pay at the window in cash. As for the beach, it's excellent! Beautiful and clean. The water feels great in the summer. The life guards are vigilant and do a good job keeping people away from danger.

    For the past month I have been visiting Long Branch Beach because I have been needing a place to clear my head and make time for myself. I didn’t know what to expect, but can honestly say that I have found that Long Branch Beach and it’s surrounding town is quite amazing and quite beautiful; especially in the late evenings and during its sunsets. I plan on continuing visiting and exploring more of the surrounding areas. Maybe even start thinking of making a more permanent move. Honestly couldn’t get enough.

    The Atlantic here is as mesmerizing as ever but the water not so freezing cold. A great place to hang out with friends and family alike. A lot of attractions around and plenty of stuff to do. The hotels are pretty much next to the beach. There is a carousel and we paid $10 parking fees for the day.

    It's clean...the boardwalk and the beach. it doesn't attract the wrong crowd. Police are on patrol. Staff are pleasant. The stores and the restaurants are top notch. My new favorite beach on the Jersey Shores.

    Beautiful beach!! Parking was tough to find but we found a lot across from the Maya resort where you can park for $40 for the whole day. A little pricey but worth it. I absolutely loved watching three lifeguards take a teenage boy who was disabled out into the water. That boy had such a great time!! I had never seen something like this! I will definitely go back with my family!

    This was our first visit to Long Branch Beach ⛱️ on the hottest day of the summer 2022, which fell on a Thursday morning. The street parking was not hard to find and my wife and I walked down to the beach and to our surprise a week day visit only cost $5 each. The ticket 🎟 stand people were very nice and polite. The sand was very clean and the beach goers were out and about. The sea 🌊 water temperature and waves were right on the money. A very relaxing and refreshing time at the beach ⛱️ we will definitely be visiting this beach again God willing.

    You can walk in clean sand and be afraid of stepping on broken glass or something that can hurt you barefooted. They have strict rules and everyone follows. My daughters that are between the ages of 7-14 love it too. It feels safe, well guarded by the life guard on duty and their facilities are well kept.

    Great beach. Clean. 9$ per adult children are free. I saw chair rentals, shower & some places to eat. Parked on a street and didn’t have to pay, I walked maybe three blocks in total

  • 5/5 Lindy L. 10 months ago on Google
    Clean, and peaceful. Today we arrived at 8:30am, perfect time to find parking and spots in the sand. We didn’t pay to get in, because the workers only arrive at 10am. We paid $10 from 10am to 3pm. No bad for 5hrs total.

    This beach is in my top five list of beaches in New Jersey. Clean and safe and the life guards have the areas marked off in which you should stay. Though I went on a Sunday and it was crazy busy, I was able to find an area without a crowd. The waves were nice and big!

    The family and I had the very best time at these beach. The water is probably some of the most beautiful clear water I have ever seen for New Jersey. The beach was clean! The boardwalk is one of kind. The staff at the beach, the shops, and even fellow beach goers were all friendly. This place was so magical the fam and I plan on making it a tradition.

    Loved this beach. It was very clean and although crowded on a Sunday, I was able to find a place to sit without so many people. The life guards do a great job. They have safe areas flagged off, that way you don’t step outside of where you can’t be seen or saved in the water. I didn’t pay anything here. Parking took about 30 min, but I was able to find street parking for free. If you like big waves and a family environment-check this beach out:)

    Love Long Branch Beach always clean and not too far of a drive from north Jersey. Yes in summer you have to pay to get on beach. Off season there is no beach attendance and free.

  • 5/5 John H B. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice relaxing beach.....get there by noon for a good spot on the weekends

  • 5/5 Dexterie P. 10 months ago on Google
    Not too crowded, clean beach and boardwalk, ample parking, quiet.

  • 5/5 Veronica O. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful beach it is nice and clean. They have activities and cabanas you can rent. The water is decent to be a jersey beach. It's not like Atlantic city where the water is black and you can't see anything. I always recommend this beach and will continue to visit

  • 2/5 Vicky R. 10 months ago on Google
    We Came to this beach a few weeks ago with my family . The beach is usually nice that’s why I came back but I paid $50 for parking this time for 2 blocks from the beach plus we have to pay entry to the beach . Then their checking our bags for glass , drugs , alcohol which was fine. The water was a color green , the waves were very strong , and unfortunately the young group of kids sitting behind us were smoking weed and drinking alcohol. It didn’t feel like a beach day this definitely ruined our time there .

    Long branch beach on a Monday is amazing! Not so many people. It isn’t crowded like Sundays. It’s great to come here and park by the beach bar they have. Enjoy

    Don’t come to this Beach on Labor Day weekend if you have kids!! The lifeguard houses are shut down ever other one making it super crowded in small areas. This is a prime spot in front of the Avenue should be guarded with lifeguards but, not on a Labor Day weekend! Super disappointed..

    I visited Long Branch Beach on a recent summer day and had a wonderful time. The beach was not too crowded, and I was able to find a spot to relax and enjoy the sun. The water was warm and inviting, and I went for a swim. I also played some volleyball with some friends, and we had a lot of fun. Afterwards, we walked along the boardwalk
