Spring Lake Beach

I would love to come back!! I always thought Belmar beach water quality is not so great, few miles down the road this beach is very neat snd clean. Plenty of parking spots. My daughter loved it here. I am originally from Florida, but this beach is good because of good maintenance and care they put in.

Beautiful place , peaceful and calm !

Nearly pristine beach. While the rules are a bit strict, this keeps everything very neat and clean. Very relaxing time.

Clean, close to free parking along the side streets. Excellent waves and views. Kids loved it. Attentive lifeguards on duty. You can’t eat on the beach as it keeps the beach area clean and free from birds. You’ll need to leave your cooler up on the board walk if you want to eat. Although, we saw plenty of people eating.

I have been going to Spring Lake Beach for many years. This is my favorite beach along the Jersey Shore. I get seasonal beach badges. You must purchase seasonal and daily badges online. I love this beach; it's so clean, beautiful, peaceful and family oriented. There is a 2 mile boardwalk and you can see the ocean clearly so you can enjoy your walk or run. There are gazebos so you can sit and relax, read a book and enjoy the beautiful ocean atmosphere. You can't bring food on the beach, but that's just fine because it helps to keep the beach clean. Many people leave their coolers on the boardwalk. You can eat on the boardwalk on the benches or walk to the Pavilion to eat. There are concession stands at the North and South Pavilion. There are no arcades or playgrounds. There are outdoor showers. The historic Essex and Sussex is on Ocean Ave. originally constructed in 1914 and began as cottages in 1882. The Breakers is a famous hotel attraction across the street from the beach. It is located on Ocean Ave between Newark and Madison Ave. It is a historic building originally built in the late 1800s. It's very popular with many weddings held here and other events or you can just go to have breakfast, lunch or dinner. It has an amazing ocean view! Just beautiful inside and out with just steps to the ocean. You will love it! There is plenty of free parking. Dogs are permitted on the beach Oct. 1st - May 14th. My dogs look forward to this time of year so they can enjoy the beach too. I love taking photos of this most beautiful beach and especially sunrise!

I loved walking the Boardwalk. The parking was also free. I guess because it's "off season", I didn't have to pay to get on the Beach. The only thing is, there are many "no swimming" signs everywhere because of the rough tides. Not like I planned to go swimming, but I figured I'd let you guys know. There were surfers in the water, and a lot of seagulls. Also, the benches all have messages on them from someone. I thought that was so neat! The spotted lantern flies???? OMGGGG! The bathrooms? They weren't well kept at all.

Nice area, free parking! If you come after 3-4 pm, there is a chance to get free to the beach. If you come in the morning- you have to pay. Restrooms are free of charge and available along the beach.

One of the best beaches..wait - the best family beach in NJ. Nice and clean water and sand.. the best thing is that beach is full of sands.. no tiny rocks that hurts your feet. almost flat enough space in water to have fun n swim..doesn’t go deep one of sudden. Two big pavilions. Parking if free but can be difficult on busy day. Beach fee $12 per adults. They do not have changing rooms so be prepared to use restrooms for cloth change. No cooler allowed. Overall a great beach experience.
