Lots of history at the fort and a stunning view of NYC from the beachfront
One of the best beaches in the area. Nice to drive or bike/walk around too.

Me and my boyfriend were invited to a Change of Command for the Coast Guard Cutter Beluga. Lt. Cody Mitchell,
Literally my favorite place in New Jersey! I just love the quiet beauty of this place! Please don’t ever turn it into a zoo that’s Point Pleasant or those types of beaches!!! Love watching the kite surfers, or just fly a kite with kids! Need to bring my bike here one day and just cruise back and forth! This place is beautiful and wholesome!!!
Nice site, describes history during WW2
From swimming to hiking. Biking to camping. Picnic and sightseeing. Its all here
First time here, rode my motorcycle in. Perfect place to cruise and enjoy scenery and history. It was very interesting to see the light house and the many different historical landmarks. The grounds were very clean and there was more than enough parking on the grounds. All around relaxing and interesting place to be, especially for a nature/history fan.
