Jersey Shore beaches
All 45 New Jersey beaches, ranked worst to best
Load up your bag with sun tan lotion, a towel and maybe a Wawa hoagie or two. It’s a beach day. The Garden State might as well be renamed the Beach State, because we have more than 140 miles of absolutely gorgeous shoreline with supreme sandy beaches. New Jersey has such an abundance of beach wealth that picking which beach to go to can sometimes be overwhelming. Plus, most beaches require paid badges or tags. But don't worry — NJ Advance Media has you covered with everything you need for the 2024 beach season, including a list of beach fees for every Jersey Shore town and where to find the best bars, boardwalks and restaurants.
