what is happening to the atlantic ocean off the jersey shore? Yesterday, at Island Beach State Park Park, the stench from the water was palpable on our towels and clothes and my dog's fur was coated with jellyfish particles that were next to impossible to remove without cutting. The dried wash from a previous tide could be lifted from the ...

This beach is so clean and it is a wildlife conservation state park. One of the most beautiful beaches in the state it boasts of intertwining trails, tons of different species of birds and a great swim beach. Snack shack, showers and restrooms. Also chair and umbrella rentals. The usually have the sea life tank for your enjoyment with park workers ...

If you love nature, this is where you should be. We love the fact that there is a special beach area that's dog friendly. Overall, the rules are simple and easy to follow. One important thing to do before you get there it's make sure to take enough food, it could be annoying to take a car ride to the nearest food stand.

We've been to Island Beach about 5 times this summer. The grandkids absolutely love it. Clean, Clean, Clean plus you're able to take showers at the end of the day. The natural beauty is awesome. The flies can be a problem at certain times so bring plenty of repellant just in case.

Beach is beautifull. Indoor shower is available(that's so nice!)

Only problem was there are so many (I mean so many)bugs in beach and everywhere. I guess that's the nature should be.. Don't forget bring the bug spray.

We saw a red fox on the way in, my daughter found a baby sea horse on a piece of seaweed, still alive!! Everyone was so nice and polite. Helpful when needed and the facilities were very clean. Such a pleasure to visit, and enjoy the water in the hot summer months!! Definately going to purchase a Season Ticket for the parks! Thank you for all you do to keep it so niice!

I was raised in NJ. My family would always go to other public beaches...I feel cheated that it took me 30 years to find Island Beach.
One day someone suggested we try it since we had small children.
AWESOME!!! is the one word to describe this out of the fantasy books beach... You get there early park your car walk no more then 200 feet and you ...

Love the beaches you can drive right on with your truck or jeep. The only thing is you have to watch for flies they will bite and when there is alot you are in trouble it all depends how the wind blows.

I do not get down to the shore often but when I do nothing compares to the peaceful,natural, clean, inexpensive day trip to Island Beach State Park. I just returned after many years and it is as great as I had remembered it. When my children were little it would we a yearly event with another family. Thanks for keeping it going!
