Keansburg Beach is a true locals’ favorite, known for its humble charm and sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline. The Jersey Journal and Patch.com highlight its independent boardwalk amusements and well-kept beach, which remains open and accessible even during peak season. Family-run snack bars, a vintage carousel, and a classic water park make it especially popular with families seeking a nostalgic day trip. The gentle waves and shallow entry are ideal for kids, while sunset views over the city offer a magical end to your visit.
