The Borough of Seaside Park, located on the Barnegat Barrier Island in Ocean County, New Jersey, was incorporated in 1898. Seaside Park is a small town of only 0.77 square miles with a year-round population of just over 2,200 residents. With almost two miles of shoreline on the Atlantic Ocean, the borough’s main industry is summer tourism. Seaside Park is bordered on the north by the Borough of Seaside Heights and its amusement arcades, rides and boardwalk. To the south is South Seaside Park, which is an unincorporated section of Berkeley Township, and Island Beach State Park.

Sandy Hook is part of the Gateway National Recreation Area and popularity is mostly due to the location. The six and a half miles of sandy beach is only a hop skip and jump from North Jersey and the city of New York. In the summer get there early on weekends or you won’t get in, since this beach is so close to the city it’s the first one to put up signs that say “full lot”. Sometimes it can get noisy on the beach so your best bet, if you want quiet is to go all the way to the end, North Beach. If you’re trying to avoid tan lines Gunnison Beach at Sandy Hook is the largest nude beach on the Atlantic Coast.

In addition to fishing, hiking, biking and bird watching check out Sandy Hook lighthouse, it’s the oldest LH in the country and nearby is historic Fort Hancock with several museums. The entrance to each beach at Sandy Hook has bathrooms and most have concession stands. If your looking for a little more then just a hot dog stop by the Seagulls Nest for drinks, food and music. Lifeguards are on call 10AM-6PM, from Memorial Day to Labor.

From the surprisingly beautiful stretch of beach to the busy boardwalk, Point Pleasant, New Jersey is fun for all ages. Mostly a family oriented beach because of the amusements, concessions and conveniences there is something for everyone. Main attractions are the Jenkinson’s Aquarium, Jenkinson’s Nightclub and Martell’s Restaurant / Tiki Bar.

The southern end of town is where the public access is located but we warned there are no lifeguards on duty. On the North end you will find Bradshaw Beach which is private access with lifeguards and they sell daily and seasonal passes. Lifeguards are on duty Memorial Day to Labor Day 9:30am to 5:30pm. Unfortunately, no dogs are allowed.

On the boardwalk you can find many places to eat pizza, clams, sushi etc…but if you are looking for something more upscale Europa South or Redingtons will do just fine.
