Island Beach State Park Access

Island Beach State Park Access provides vehicle entry to one of New Jersey's premier coastal recreation areas, offering miles of pristine shoreline for surf fishing, beach driving, swimming, kayaking, and other water activities.

The park charges per-vehicle entry fees ($5-$20 depending on season and residency status) and operates daily from 8 A. M. to dusk (extended hours during summer), though it frequently reaches capacity on summer weekends and holidays.

Popular amenities include designated beach driving areas for fishing access, swimming beaches, and kayaking opportunities, with the main gate located in Ocean County near Seaside Park.
