Guide
Good to know
Go for solitude and views, not swimming
The quiet bay setting and NYC skyline views attract visitors seeking relaxation, beachcombing, or sunsets rather than water recreation.
Expect a rocky, bay beach
This is a Raritan Bay beach with pebbles and rocks, not sandy shores, so wear water shoes.
Check water conditions before visiting
Reviews report frequent dead sea life, debris, and murky water quality that varies significantly by visit date.
Arrive early for limited parking
Several reviewers mention minimal parking availability as a constraint.
