Seaside park
The Borough of Seaside Park, located on the
Barnegat Barrier Island in Ocean County, New Jersey, was incorporated in 1898.

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,
NJ
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.
