When asked who has the best beaches - New York or Jersey, the answer almost always is, “No contest IMHO - Jersey Shore.” Unless you’re from New York. “Long Island’s best are the Hamptons and Montauk. Montauk is truly beautiful, but the Hamptons are overrated some say. Coney Island is truly historic and great, but rundown and dirty today.”
Island Beach State Park is well known by New Jersey’s saltwater anglers for excellent surf fishing for striped bass and bluefish. Other species include summer founder and weakfish. Shaped by storm and tides, Island Beach State Park is a narrow barrier island stretching for 10 miles between the restless Atlantic Ocean and the historic Barnegat Bay. Island Beach is one of New Jersey’s last significant remnants of a barrier island ecosystem that once existed along much of the coast and is also one of the few remaining undeveloped barrier beaches on the north Atlantic coast. The largest of our island’s white sand beaches, it offers consistently good conditions for swimming, body-boarding, sunbathing, and strolling. Located adjacent to the lighthouse, there is ample parking, along with food vendors, picnic areas, restrooms and showers. Paddle through the sedges and see the largest osprey colony in New Jersey and many other species of birds. Join us as we do a seining and dig for clams.
