Best places: Beaches in New Jersey

👍 Nice beach, especially with boardwalk extended. Beach rentals are pricey and only limited time till 4:30pm, it's good to bring your own. Water is cold and always with waves. If you are not staying in hotel, parking is a good challenge to find.

New Jersey's only clothing optional beach, this stretch of white sand offers views of Brooklyn.

👍 If you ever want to get some peace take a trip to the beach and find a spot in the sand close your eyes and live in the moment. To see GODs creations such as the sea and how it meets the land with the sky clouds and son up above is such a beautiful thing. This beach is fairly cleaner than Atlantic...

😐 Ocean Grove is nestled between Bradley Beach and Asbury Park Beach. It's only a small area of beach with beautiful Victorian homes. I was there on a Friday afternoon, not even the summer crowd, and there were not many available parking spots. There weren't many people on the beach so I guess they w...

Standby featuring a boardwalk near restaurants, Victorian-style homes & seasonal lifeguards.

👍👍 July 2021 I’ve been going to Ocean City NJ two or three times a year since I moved to Pennsylvania a few years ago, and I enjoy that beach, so I decided to give Sea Isle City a try and I'm glad I did. To start off I only paid $7 to park 9 hours on a Sunday, compared to $20 at OC. The beach is very...

👍👍 As paid beaches go, I'd say Stone Harbor is one of the better values. $6 per day and $12 per week tags is much better than Ocean City. And the paid parking is hands down the best. $1 per hour in lots and meters, and it's not far to free parking if you're a stickler for that. Has a bathroom at the ma...

👍👍 There are other beaches that are closer but this one is definitely worth the drive. You only pay for your car, don't have to worry about badges. The beach is clean and great for swimming. They have a changing room with showers, a snack bar and a restaurant.

👍👍 We had a great time as a family. We were able to park on the street for free and the walk to the beach was along The beach is clean and the water was beautiful. There are a lot of lifeguards and the swim areas are clearly defined. There were a lot of children playing in the surf. I especially liked...

👍👍 Very clean, family friendly, nice, convenient and plenty of parking available as well as local places to eat. It cost $10 to access the beach ( children under 12yrs are free). Wristbands can be purchased electronically through a QR code available at selected spots. However, if you prefer to use cash...

Ocean beach featuring a relaxed vibe as well as pavilions with concessions, showers & bathrooms.

👍👍 What a clean beach, we came here this year in early August to meet friends and also one night camping. The beach park gate office was closed after 4:30pm so it is free to enter, it is wonderful place to watch sunset, of course to watch sunrise at the northernmost beach, for campers, you can get free...

👍 Bradley Beach is nestled between Avon-by-the-Sea Beach and Ocean Grove Beach. Bradley Beach is nice and clean with crystal clear water. The boardwalk is small; only a mile long. The boardwalk is paved giving it a unique look from all the other boardwalks. I think this is the only paved boardwalk on...

👍👍 Great for families & people who love the convenience of the boardwalk. The boardwalk is fun but the beach itself is definitely not my favorite or one I frequent because it tends to get very crowded, but it's still a fun time!

👍 Grew up here. Quiet, tiny beach community. Nothing pretentious in sight. We went to the beach and dove from the pier, fed the ducks in the lilly pond, rode bikes, went crabbing and picked wild huckleberries. Sailing, Toms River and Seaside Heights are local things to do.

👍👍 Came in 10.30 Saturday morning, waited 45 minutes in traffic and paid 20 dollars fee to enter the park. Lot D, found parking easy, crowds was all right, not so bad for weekend. Beach was clean, waves were crushing hard. Lifeguards on duty. Restrooms, showers are busy. Burger truck, and Carvel ice cr...

In addition to its wide sand beaches, this scenic destination abuts a wildlife management area.

Broad, bustling sand beach backed by a boardwalk with shops, eateries & amusement arcades.

👍👍 Margate beach is one of the best private beaches in New Jersey. It's a small beach compared to other public beaches which makes for low crowds. Getting there was very easy. And when I got there I found a parking spot very quickly and it was one street away from the beach! I highly recommend going to...

👍👍 Gorgeous Sand, Gorgeous Beach..in my opinion this is the prettiest beach in NJ and totally worth the drive.
