Island Beach State Park Access

Island Beach State Park Access provides vehicle beach permits for surf fishing and beach driving along miles of pristine New Jersey shoreline, with multiple parking areas and designated mobile sport fishing access points.

The park offers diverse recreational opportunities including several hiking trails, kayaking water trails (ranging from easy to moderate difficulty), swimming areas, and wildlife viewing platforms.

Note that vehicle beach passes are in high demand and typically sell out quickly each season.
