Spring Lake Beach
This beautiful beach with a long boardwalk in a small seaside community manages crowds with daily online ‘Beach Badges.’ Select a date and area on the website, then pick up at the Spring Lake Train Station (Mon-Fri 8 am–3 pm & Sat-Sun 8 am–5 pm).
* No playgrounds on this quiet beach but lots of sand and waves.
* Only small soft coolers with food and non-alcoholic beverages permitted. Some leave larger coolers on the boardwalk.
🛍 Visit the shopping district on 3rd Ave for beach chairs, children’s beach toys, umbrellas, lotions, food, clothes & more.
🚙 About a 1.5 hour dive from midtown Manhattan. Plenty of free parking on Ocean Ave.
