This beach is decidedly sleepier than Ocean City, Sea Isle, and many non-LBI beaches, and most of its charm is from its inherent "coziness." The lifeguards were very kind and vigilant, making sure that the no-swimming zones were properly demarcated and that we could enjoy the offings of the beach. Free street parking and some mini golf and ice cream nearby. What more can I say? :)

IMO, the best time to visit is the off season, and close to sunset. There are houses built right on top of beach, on pilings over water! The homes must have amazing views. They also have small parcels of private beach at almost every home. But there is a larger public section of beach too. The public area is recently restored, and still not as big as Cooks Beach, Kimbles Beach, or Highs Beach, but the small lanes where the homes are gathered like a village amidst the marshes are really adorable.

The name is highly misleading, since it brings up images of wooden planks and arcade games and such, but none of those are to be found here. Only come to Sea Isle for swimming, there's not much else to do. It's just a very quiet, conservative, family getaway type place that's lacking in excitement. Consider yourself warned.

My sister lives in the area and suggested this as a nice beach walk. You have to drive through…read moremarshland (great birdwatching here if that's your thing), park in a tiny lot, and walk another 15 minutes down an old road to get to the beach. But you'll be rewarded with said birds (bald eagles, herons, and more), horseshoe crabs, and other wildlife. You'll likely have the place to yourself; we only saw two other wildlife photographers, in the parking lot, in the hours we spent here. There are the remains of a beachwall and a house that was removed about 20 years ago, I'm told. There used to be several houses on this beach--apparently those families are still upset about being displaced. You can see the old fireplace and see how the water is trying to reclaim their foundation. Some creative types have made sculptures out of driftwood and beach debris. But mostly it's just uninterrupted shoreline and nature that you can enjoy in solitude. Tip: the most convenient public restroom is back in Dorchester at the Wawa. I recommend a stop there before your visit to this beach.

To access this beach, you must drive to a public parking lot (free), and walk a gravel road through marsh for 0.7mi until you reach the beach. There is a lookout platform built adjacent to the parking lot, with didactic panels giving info on the wildlife. Once you reach the beach, it is very natural, and has some brick and stone fill material dumped there, to prevent erosion. There is also what looks like the ruins of an old building, but no signage to indicate exactly what it was. The beach is a decent size for spending time in the sun and sand, but it's very isolated so if any jellyfish sting or other emergency were to occur, you're a 0.7mi walk (or bike ride) to your car, and then several miles from that to get medical attention. No lifeguards anywhere nearby! So IMO, this beach is best explored in the off-season dressed warmly, with sneakers or hiking boots. Vineland is about a 30min drive from this beach. There are many preserves and hiking trails nearby, along with the Maurice River Township biking trails.

I actually was able to still purchase the 2025 Stamp to further support such a valuable tool to save wildlife. Plenty of parking, restrooms and a very nice Visitor Center with informative displays & a gift shop. Visitors can pick up maps, info and updates on what you could see in the refuge. The Staff is friendly & helpful. Kelvin is amazing, he does a drive through of the Park prior to his shift so he can give daily updates, there is a board listing his sightings. He is also an expert on the area and willing to take the time to discuss the refuge, and directions to other possible spots to visit. Birders, do not pass on the opportunity to speak to Kelvin if he is available. One of the best we have had the pleasure of speaking to on NWR Journey. Weather was dismal, but the Wildlife Drive was incredible, we did two days in a row & saw plenty of wildlife.

The road is fully paved to the beach because there are homes at the beach end of it. At one time the road appears to have gone even further but an older gentleman on the beach when I was there said the sea has washed away that extra piece of road, during storm surges. He mentioned that this beach is his favorite for fishing, although I saw people fishing at every bay beach except Cooks Beach. People fish the bay all year. The views of the coast are great at this location, and there is a nice chunk of beach to spend some quality hours hanging out. Kimbles and Cooks Beach are my top Middle Township bay beaches to visit! Definitely worth a trip! Like all of the small Middle Township bay beaches, this feels very remote and private. As with its neighbor beaches, you need to drive out through a stretch of marsh to get to it. There are homes on solid ground at the mouth of the road (by 47), and also as you get out at the beach, but the stretch in between is marshland. Marsh makes for great wildlife but also many bugs, so prep for that in warm months.
