Long Branch Beach

I've been going to Long Branch Beach for the past month to find some peace and quiet and it has exceeded my expectations. The town and beach are both stunning, especially during sunset. I'm hooked and plan on coming back to explore more. I might even consider moving here permanently because I can't get enough.

The beach was stunning, although we had some difficulty finding parking. Eventually, we managed to secure a spot across from the Maya resort for $40, which was a bit steep, but ultimately worth it. One of the highlights of the day was witnessing three lifeguards take a disabled teenager into the water and watching him have the time of his life. It was a heartwarming moment that I had never seen before, and it made me eager to return with my family.

Attention! It's advisable to carry some cash with you, particularly if you plan to hire beach chairs and umbrellas. Additionally, purchasing beach tickets with cash at the window can save you up to 30%. Regarding the beach itself, it's absolutely splendid! The scenery is breathtaking, and the beach is immaculate. The water is refreshing during the summer season, and the lifeguards are diligent in ensuring everyone's safety by keeping them away from potential hazards.

This beach is a stunning location to witness the perfect sunrise! The boardwalk and water are pristine and unspoiled, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere. 💗 For the ultimate experience, arrive an hour before sunrise and bask in the breathtaking beauty of the sun's first rays. It's advisable to bring a jacket as the temperature can drop unexpectedly. During my visit, the beach was relatively quiet, as most people prefer to stay in bed during sunrise hours! 😅 If you plan on taking a dip, don't forget to bring extra clothes and a towel, as well as a bag to store your wet items.

This beach in NJ is exceptionally clean, including the water. It's not usually too crowded, and the boardwalk is enjoyable. However, parking can be a challenge, and it may take some time to find a good spot. If you're lucky, you might be able to snag a beachside spot for $20 cash. Fortunately, there are public restrooms available at the entrance of the boardwalk. If you're looking for food, there are plenty of restaurants near Pier Village and Brighton Ave. Depending on which side of the beach you enter, there may be a $7 entry fee.
