Please note going in water without a life guard is dangerous. This is for those looking for fresh ocean air or to play in the sand.
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.
-Ocean Avenue in W. Long Branch after 5:30
-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
FYI parts of Sandy Hook are clothing optional beaches
ReplyDeleteLOL Sandy Hook is a nude beach! Great suggestion for Lakewood Yungerlite to go there with their families
