Sands
Edit SpotAbout
Fun and just go for it...
Atmosphere:
Recommend going South...unless you may think Sands is breaking on a good swell day...
Additional Info:
Park car either at Mcloone's or the beach club. Be ready to take a beating if big, and if you aren't experienced...

Go into Sea Bright and head North towards Sandy Hook then theres a couple of beach clubs: Surfrider,Sands,then Ship Ahoy (in that order) If you pass those or went into Sandy Hook National Park by mistake, you went to far...Only can get in though in summer by being a member/guest of the beach club...otherwise you can go during Spring,Fall,and Winter months...
