Guide
Good to know
Come for fishing and inlet views
The jetty and Shark River Inlet draw consistent catches of tog, bluefish, and flounder, plus scenic boat traffic.
Plan for off-season visits
November through early spring offer beautiful weather, minimal crowds, and easier parking without sacrificing beach quality.
Watch sunrise or sunset
The inlet location provides excellent views of sunrise and sunset, often highlighted as a reason to visit.
Visit on weekday mornings
Parking becomes difficult by late morning on summer weekends, but early weekday visits offer quiet beaches and easy access.
Respect the bird sanctuary boundaries
A roped-off nesting area protects endangered birds, and enforcement is strict during breeding season.
