It was a very small beach nestled between houses…read more As we started back up the road we stopped at the first parking lot we drove by to see if there was more to the beach. And that was a Yes! The walkway was thru the sand dune that took us down to the beach. The beach was allowed a nice walk along the water. There are multiple homes that we passed. If you want a more "wild" beach and less built up, this would not be the beach.

All while admiring the pretty sea shells and colorful rocks. The morning fog lifted, as the day progressed and the ocean breezes was cool and refreshing. If you love long morning walks along the beach, you should definitely give this a try!

The unfortunate part about parking is that you need a resident sticker or you will get a ticket. The fortunate part is that it is not a far walk from the hustle and bustle of Main St. Sometimes there is a stinky low tide smell here, but not that often. The water is great for swimming and there is a lifeguard on duty in the summer.

It was about a 20 min walk (or 2 minute drive) from our cottage and free to get on to, which is unheard of in Jersey! You do have to pay for parking ($30 on weekends and $20 on weekdays) so that, plus the walk being the only form of exercise we all got for 7 days straight, was all the motivation we needed for skipping the car. The water was nearly dead still all week, no garbage anywhere and lifeguards were on duty most of the time. They made sure to clear the water when any sign of a storm was coming in and left us alone the rest of the time. One of my friends was terrified of sharks so she was a beach bum the whole time while me and my other friend would hang out in the water at least half the day. Sure, it was cold, but it was also SO hot on the sand, so super cold water was welcomed. I loved loved loved how not crowded this beach was. Again, coming from Jersey beaches, it's unheard of!! But we had so much room from other people and never felt like we were too close. A great place for a beach day (or week)!

This was my first time swimming down the cape! A friend rented a cottage which was less than a 5…read moreminute walk from the beach. He had invited friends and family down, we had discussed it and felt safe and comfortable with going. I rarely go to the beach, my fair skin, even with all the sunblock, ends up burning. However I try to go at least once a year for a swim, be it the ocean or a lake. The water, super refreshing on a hot summer day! Being about 60-something degrees, it was a shock at first, but then easily adapted to the temperature. The water was opaque from the seaweed being agitated, it was nice how deep the water got. However, 'Jaws' scared the crap out of me as a kid so I felt a little uneasy since it is not a harbor or bay, but just jutting along the open ocean on the outside portion of the Cape. So being in water where the seafloor drops off, in opaque water, made me a little anxious. The only good thing is knowing there are no seals nearby (sharks are attracted to areas with them, and attacks happen in less then 3 feet of water). Oh did I mention a tip is to not swim in murky water? Anyways, now that I have you paranoid about swimming here, the beach is beautiful and plenty of open space, and life gaurds are present.
