Go all the way to the North end when you cannot go anymore and you are at the spot where leashed dogs are encouraged to play and enjoy the sand, ocean, and natural flora and fauna every day! In April, it was a very peaceful spot to dig some holes and admire the waves and stormy clouds. Dogs are also allowed on the other beach areas, but there are seasonal restrictions: "From October 1st to May 29th, dogs are allowed on the beach provided they are on a leash, not longer than 6 ft. Dog feces must be removed."

Had time to wander on a cold sunny winter's day during the PANDEMIC. Not really familiar with…read moreBrigantine, so I pretty much wandered around. Easy to do when nobody's around! I was actually looking for a place called Pepper Cove, but I can't seem to find it on the map. This beach is one of the few that allow cars, but it requires a permit. This time I just parked and walked in on the beach. Not very many people, but it was good to see a few people out in the distance with romping dogs. Happy dogs on the beach always makes ME happy. The beach sand itself is grayish, nor am I fan of tire tracks everywhere, but otherwise, an empty beach on a sunny day is four stars.

Such a fun place! Wish the parking situation was a little better- you really can't walk here…read more Parking is tight. BUT! So many pups, ours had a blast meeting new friends and swimming for the first time. A great experience for him! Pretty clean and well maintained all things considered

EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP: Longport Dog Beach is beautiful! Dogs are allowed ALL-YEAR-ROUND. From May…read more1st-August 31st dogs must be leashed. The beach is long and clean with views of the casinos of Atlantic City and the Ocean City-Longport bridge. It is part of the Malibu Beach Wildlife Management area, so very pretty and preserved. You have to carry out your trash, and "hold-it-in" until you get to another place with a bathroom, and parking is limited. But, it's a special place to romp around and be carefree. Be sure to bring baggies and fresh water and bowl.

Excellent beach! Very clean water. Just us and the birdies…read more Water was extremely cold! We visited off season so no beach tag was needed.. I would love to come back but only during off season. I really can do without the crowd.

Not impressed by the overly controlling lifeguards on Avalon beach! I have never heard so many…read morewhistle blows from lifeguards either. And they only allow you to swim within a very narrow area in front of their stands- nowhere else, not even wading between stands! I was bodyboarding in the same area for about 45 minutes staying within the boundaries and next thing I know an aggressive lifeguard come over to tell me to move over closer to their stand and if I had done that I could have easily run into any number of small children wading in the shallow area where the waves were depositing me. This makes me not want to even go into the water, nor would I ever recommend this place to swim. I even had a whistle blown at me for wading up to my waist! A total buzz kill! Nope , we won't be returning here next summer! Not worth the aggravation

Kimbles Beach shares its access road with a Cape May National Wildlife Refuge location. So you have…read morea major wildlife habitat adjacent to the beach. The road is fully paved to the beach because there are homes at the beach end of it. At one time the road appears to have gone even further but an older gentleman on the beach when I was there said the sea has washed away that extra piece of road, during storm surges. He mentioned that this beach is his favorite for fishing, although I saw people fishing at every bay beach except Cooks Beach. People fish the bay all year. The views of the coast are great at this location, and there is a nice chunk of beach to spend some quality hours hanging out. Kimbles and Cooks Beach are my top Middle Township bay beaches to visit! Definitely worth a trip! Like all of the small Middle Township bay beaches, this feels very remote and private. As with its neighbor beaches, you need to drive out through a stretch of marsh to get to it. There are homes on solid ground at the mouth of the road (by 47), and also as you get out at the beach, but the stretch in between is marshland. Marsh makes for great wildlife but also many bugs, so prep for that in warm months.

Cooks Beach is the only one (that I know of) of the little public bayside beaches in Middle…read moreTownship that does NOT have homes built on it. The plus is, it's completely nature's beauty there, with a nice wide stretch of beach and a remote relaxing feel. The minus is, the road to this place is the WORST road I've ever driven in my life. As of Nov 2020, the unpaved portion of Cooks Beach road (like 60-70% of its total length) is full of holes, dips, standing water, and various other lumps and bumps. I recommend parking at the end of the paved area and walking the remainder of about 1/4 mile. I did drive it in a non-SUV but at 10mph, with white knuckles, and hella stress. Come here to relax, but bring an SUV or some sneaks to hike. Once you get to the beach it is crazy pretty, and most of the year, you will be one of very few people there. Like all of the small Middle Township bay beaches, this feels very remote and private. As with its neighbor beaches, you need to drive out through a stretch of marsh to get to it. There are homes on solid ground at the mouth of the road (by 47), but none once the road becomes unpaved. The stretch in between is marshland. Marsh makes for great wildlife but also many bugs, so prep for that in warm months.

First, I have seen this called "High Beach" as well as "Highs Beach" depending on the maps app I…read moreuse. But the road to it says "Highs" so likely that's correct. This is a good sized public beach on the Delaware Bay in Middle Township, Cape May County. The road remains paved to the end where the residences are. There are only a couple parking spots at the entrance to the beach, but the road is wide enough to allow parking along it.

Like it's northern neighbor beaches, you need to drive out through a stretch of marsh to get to Del Haven beach, but it is a lot more built up than the little beaches north of it. Unlike in Villas, you can't really park along the street here unless you get one of the 2 or 3 spots right at the beach entrance, and if you don't live beachfront, it is a long long walk to the rest of town here. Thus my 4/5 stars.
