Island Beach State Park Access provides vehicle entry to one of New Jersey's premier recreational destinations, offering miles of pristine shoreline for surf fishing and beach driving with designated mobile sport fishing access points.

The park features multiple swimming areas, kayaking opportunities on several water trails (including Spizzle Creek, Marsh Elder, and Buster Islands routes), and numerous hiking trails through coastal habitats.

Vehicle passes are required year-round ($5-$20 depending on residency and season), and the park typically operates 8 A. M. to 8 P. M. , though it frequently reaches capacity during summer weekends and holidays.
