Surf Road Beach

Public beach

😐 You know...just 2 days ago I gave this beach a 5star. This morning we were there again and found a SHOCK! They added a second stairway up to the disabled ramp - nice but....they built it on top of one of the only 2 blue spaces at the accessible beach! Who decides such a thing? I have to slash th...

Bird-watching & walking trails are the draw at this waterfront park with grassy dunes & marshlands.

34th Street Beach

Public beach

👍👍 Wonderful, beautiful beach (with facilities). I painted this view of the dunes and the beach on site showing the familiar white Ocean City houses facing the sea on a perfect July morning. Let's fight Co2 emissions and climate change so our grandchildren can enjoy this beach too!

The Point

Public beach

👍👍 I used to ride my bike here every day as a child and teenager. It was one of my first kisses with my wife of 27 years and where she told me we were pregnant. The views still don't disappoint

68th Street Ocean Beach

Public beach

👍👍 This is a nice spot to bring my coffee and start the morning off in a peaceful, quiet way. You can't beat the sights and sounds of the beach early in the morning!

12th Street Beach

Public beach

👍👍 Very nice beach. The sand was soft and warm on the last day of April. The water was cold. No one was swimming but many were enjoying the beach.

4.70 (383 reviews) (~16.74 km from centre)

Whale Beach

Public beach

👍👍 Shoobies beware, this beach sucks please go home, we don't have lifeguards, you'll be forced to watch your children play. Its a terrible time if you actually want to play activities instead of fishing or relaxing while the beautiful sun sets behind you.

The Beach At Strathmere

Public beach

👍 This is a good strip of beach to go to with your family for free. Parking can be hard sometimes but it's pretty nice. Parts of this beach sometimes have no life guards on duty so you swim at your own risk. Also, people come there to fish right on the beach so beware of your surroundings if your tryi...

Atlantic City Beach

Public beach

👍 So I like the free parking and admission. Well it’s clean for a free beach. Water is okay well it’s ocean not a pool. Can’t ask for better. Parking is free, but come early to get spot. We got in around 11am, and there was plenty of parking spots. Otherwise you will have to look for it at nearby stre...

Graveling Point Beach

Public beach

👍👍 This is my family's favorite beach. Unfortunately this year there were more sand flies than normal so I do suggest wearing bug repellent. Other than that it's a nice beach to be away from the distractions of shopping stores and restaurants everywhere. Visiting the beach should be serene, that's exac...

The Cove Beach

Public beach

😐 One of the few entrance to get onto Brigantine Beach. In the summer season, there is always someone there to check if you have a 4x4 permit. It runs $175/ year and available at the Brigantine Community Center. There is an air station is located here although I'm not sure if it's fully functional....

The Cove

Public beach

👍👍 Our family has been going since I was a child, and I’m so glad it’s still here for my kids. The staff is welcoming and helpful- with plenty of bandaids for the little falls. The lifeguards do an excellent job balancing safety and fun. I appreciate the effort management makes to keep it clean, respec...

Avalon Beach Patrol

Association or organization

😠 If you want to go in the ocean deeper than your ankles then don't go to Avalon's beaches. If you enjoy being whistled in for standing in waist deep water and treated like a child by a 19 year old who's more interested in his tan than his lifeguarding duties, then Avalon is the place for you.
