💡 Tips

  • Public beach access points exist but parking is extremely limited; arrive early or use ride-shares on weekends.
  • Ocean Ave is the main artery and can get very congested in summer-patience is necessary.
  • You need beach badges for many sections during the summer season, so check the local borough website for daily pass info.
  • The sea wall provides a barrier from storms; climbing on the rocks is dangerous and usually prohibited.
