Island Beach State Park Access
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 and beach driving via designated mobile sport fishing access points.
The main gate typically opens at 8 A. M. and closes at 8 P. M. , with per-vehicle entry fees ($5-$20 depending on season and residency).
The park features multiple kayaking water trails (including Spizzle Creek, Marsh Elder, and Buster Islands routes), swimming areas, hiking trails, and a visitor contact station at the gatehouse, though vehicle passes sell out quickly during peak season.
