Guide
Good to know
Weekday mornings offer fewer crowds
Early weekday visits avoid parking hassles and provide ample beach space, while peak crowds arrive mid-afternoon on weekends.
Arrive early or buy badges online
Daily wristband passes sell out by mid-morning on warm weekends, especially in summer.
Expect $12-15 beach admission
Daily per-person fees range from $12 to $15 depending on age and timing; children under 12 are free.
Watch for aggressive parking enforcement
Unmarked or unclear parking zones result in heavy fines; compare this to nearby Belmar, which charges less for beach access.
