This is such a beautiful park! They have plenty of free parking and nice, clean restrooms right by the playground. There are lots of open spaces and walking trails, and it's super dog-friendly, especially the beach area southeast of the pagodas. My partner, my dog, and I had a fantastic time walking all over the place. We visited in May, and the water was already really warm and inviting. We saw lots of people training their dogs on the beach, which was cool to watch. Just a quick tip: be careful if you go barefoot, as there are lots of tiny shells! This is definitely a fun spot, and we're already looking forward to stopping by again next summer!

Always the best. Visited the beach front today, even if only for a few minutes. The sound of the waves and the open sky brought such a peaceful feeling. It’s amazing how nature can calm you without saying a word.”

Stopped by to get some fresh air and relaxed. No swimming allowed at this beach. Not cleaning enough for swimming. But it’s nice to just walk around or sit. There are many benches in the area and nice walking space. You could also sit by the beach and enjoy the nice breeze. Definite going there again.

Really nice place to walk or chill.. we couldn’t find picnic tables but perfect for drink and snack. Nice views too. Perfect stopover if you’re traveling north or south Jersey. It’s 4 min off the parkway.

Didn't even know this place existed. Really nice to walk around by the water and the gazebo. Clean. Plenty of free parking. Baseball field was kept in excellent condition with great grass, nice dugout and great layout and bleachers. Playground area too right next to the field for siblings. Clean bathrooms also.
