Island Beach State Park is a preserved barrier island, celebrated by NJ Monthly and the National Park Service for its untouched dunes, native wildlife, and tranquil beaches. The park is home to rare plants and migratory birds, drawing nature lovers and photographers. There are no boardwalk amusements here—just miles of sand, walking trails, and gentle surf. It’s ideal for those seeking a peaceful, unspoiled day at the shore, and a rare opportunity to experience the Jersey coast as it once was.
