💡 Tips

  • Beach badges are strictly required for entry during the summer season and are checked regularly by guards.
  • There are no public restrooms, boardwalks, or food vendors on the beach here, so pack accordingly and plan ahead.
  • Street parking is extremely limited and strictly enforced; always read the parking regulation signs to avoid towing.
  • Because the borough is almost entirely residential, plan to visit the neighboring town of Bay Head for dining and coffee.
