Lakewood is close proximity to the Jersey shore but for obvious tznius reasons most beaches are not accessible. However there are some spots one can go to during off peak hours usually on the weekdays or in the evenings.
-Island beach state park - has usually just fishing during the week - exit 83 on the parkway. There is a fee to enter but you can find a private stretch.
-Mantoloking, drive down Cederbridge all the way go over a bridge Take the road after the bridge to the end you hit rt 35 Make a right at the light the road runs along the beach. To the left there are small side streets you can park for the beach. or you can park on side streets to the right. After 5-6 pm you can enter without a pass
-Sandy Hook gateway national recreation area. This park is 45 minutes from Lakewood free entrance on weekdays lots of beaches and during the week you can find lots of empty secluded areas as you go further out. Take rt 36 to the end. Picnic areas available.
-Ocean Avenue in W. Long Branch after 5:30
Please take this post down its very dangerous to go to a beach without a official lifeguard
ReplyDeleteDangerous - Keep in mind, secluded beaches like Mantoloking have no breakers to break up the waves and have dangerous currents...with no lifeguards...
ReplyDeletePeople are not going to the beach to swim or Wade in the water they go for the air and breeze
ReplyDeleteAnd u know this how exactly?
DeleteYou happened to be "DEAD" wrong
Maybe you only things if they are spelled out to you.
Rip tides? I think that's something that was driven home bery painfully this year. So much for just standing on the beach to inhale the ocean air.
ReplyDeleteOnce you're stupid enough to post this there will no longer be a private stretch, Duh!
ReplyDeleteI am really surprised that you haven't removed this post. If people aren't going to the beaches because of the pritzus there, then good. Let them stay away. Don't offer people "kosher" alternatives that could prove very dangerous. Unguarded beaches are dangerous. High tides and nighttime tides can be fatal. Rent a private, safe beach and lifeguard in a relatively secluded area, if you must go to the beach.
