I traveled all the way from Atlantic City to Margate City to see Lucy the Elephant, but she is…read morecurrently undergoing renovations. I parked and then made my way to the beach. Compared to Atlantic City, Margate City is a lot more tranquil and serene. There are condos and other things here instead of raucous concessions and crowds. There are the casinos. Here is nice. I spent nearly an hour strolling down the beach. Not really looking for shells or anything. I simply relished the early-evening stillness and the onshore wind.

Go all the way to the North end when you cannot go anymore and you are at the spot where leashed dogs are encouraged to play and enjoy the sand, ocean, and natural flora and fauna every day! In April, it was a very peaceful spot to dig some holes and admire the waves and stormy clouds. Dogs are also allowed on the other beach areas, but there are seasonal restrictions: "From October 1st to May 29th, dogs are allowed on the beach provided they are on a leash, not longer than 6 ft. Dog feces must be removed."

I had not been to Brigantine Beach since I was 15 years old (crabbing)…read more This trip was the first for me and Joey as a couple of 3 1/2 years. Just like the other Yelp reviewers stated, this beach is expansive and beautiful! They have bathrooms, versus nasty port-o-potties - yay! We used the ones off of Roosevelt. We love the white sand and long stretch of beach - wow - so glad I picked here!!! 8/12/22

Such a fun place! Wish the parking situation was a little better- you really can't walk here…read more Parking is tight. BUT! So many pups, ours had a blast meeting new friends and swimming for the first time. A great experience for him! Pretty clean and well maintained all things considered

Great doggie beach with over half of the doggies off the leash and running around. I kept ours on…read morethe leash as he is smaller and there was lots of large dogs. All were friendly and being watched we had no issues. Only hard park is very limited parking max 20 cars on each side of the highway before a large bridge. Note this beach states no swimming, most were in up to waist height with the doggies.

Great beach in Cape May obviously for the sunsets but for a couple other reasons as well…read more I believe every Monday-Wednesday-Friday they lower a flag honoring a veteran. During the ceremony they play America the Beautiful, the National Anthem and Taps. It's a great thing to witness and an honor for the families of the veterans represented. They also have a few shops and Mini golf course here. Every year I stop here there seems to be more things to do here. The old cement ship is still here too.....there seems to be LESS of this every time I visit. If you're in Cape May this is a great stop for the flag ceremony and the sunset.

I note there are 2 listings here for Sunset Beach - this one being for the beach itself…read more.. Sunset Beach is a must-visit every time I go to the Jersey Cape - have watched the ship off shore slowly be reclaimed by the elements. It has also been interesting to watch the little shops slowly expand and update from year to year - now featuring plenty (usually) of parking, a mini golf course, a small but nice restaurant, nearby concrete WWII tower converted to a museum, etc. I have noticed that the Cape May Diamonds® are thinning out a bit compared to the late 70s, but there are still plenty to find - which makes this a great location to take the kids & the great thing is you don't have to spend a dime if you don't want to. Also, there is a reason for the name - great location to watch sunsets out over the bay! Highly recommended!

Besides the lack of bathrooms, this beach is pretty supreme…read more I ran around for hours playing frisbee, a luxury at the jersey shore (as many of y'all are probably well-aware). 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? :)

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Oddly, there was no beach badge fee on the Thursday leading up to Labor Day weekend, but it's advertised online as $10 daily. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Beaches are scattered along the boardwalk and kind of broken up into sections. - Wasn't as clean as we expected. - Sand had lots of shells and remnants from the ocean. - The north side of the beach wasn't huge. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = For you shell collectors out there, along the coastline where the beach and ocean currents meet, there was a craaaazy amount of shells of all shapes and sizes!

This place is squeaky clean, super safe, and delightfully dry (as in, no alcohol allowed on the beach) The boardwalk has everything a family could want: pizza slices bigger than your head, fudge that defies logic, mini golf courses every 15 feet, and rides that are reasonably priced. There's no bar crawl vibe here--more like stroller parades, ice cream drips, and kids riding bikes 10/10, would sunscreen my kids here again.
