Went to this beach last year, no complaints. 2025 though… came back and the water is a lot dirtier and deeper. People are riding jet skis while hustling and coming too close to shore which brings in more dirty water and bacteria. My entire family woke up 2 days later with swimmers itch or some type of rash from the water. Won’t be going back….lack of life guards and my daughter almost got hit by a man hustling people from his jet ski and that won’t stop until someone truly gets hurt!

The beach it’s self isn’t that bad but it isn’t wonderfully great. It really depends on who you with or what you are doing. The sand was rough and the water had a lot of dead aquatic life washing ashore. I seen a few people run out the water either they where stung or bit by something. won’t repeat

It's a good beach overall. The water was a little dirtier than how beach water usually is, but fine anyway. There were a lot less people at 11AM-2PM than I expected- like less than 10! I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but I considered it great at the time. The waves were a lot calmer, and it felt more peaceful without a lifeguard, but I didn't find much seashells- just mostly rocks. In the end, I would recommend visiting this beach!

Hidden gem of a Shore spot!!!! FREE beach access every day, large parking lot with a $2 per hour fee. Bathrooms and showers available. Just up the street is an amusement park, bar, boardwalk and water park. Not very crowded and we had beautiful weather

Water is very shallow so good for kids and adults who are afraid of swimming in sea water. I have been there twice and both the times water was muddy. If you are looking for nice blue water to swim then this is not the place but beach is accessible and close by for lots of north and central Jersey people . BEWARE of the parking situation as it doesn’t have good signboards that says you have to pay . We got the parking ticket as we didn’t see any sign or parking meters nearby . They only have few all the way at the beginning and end of the lot .
