(as of July 2025) Unfortunately, it's the going rate to set foot on the sand - Street parking spots get occupied verrrrrry early.

Perfect for a relaxing beach date with the gf (we're in our 30s--Point's better if you're 10 years younger imo). The water's better in Squan, too, I think, when compared to Point. Going out on the rocks can be fun, but be careful.

Was originally planning to go to Point Pleasant, but some expensive street parking led us to Manasquan where we found some free parking. We got here before 9am. If you do so, you can typically enter without paying for a beach pass (granted you don't leave the beach premises and return). It helps getting early for that, beating traffic, and enjoying the beach before it gets unbearably hot. Admittingly, it might not be the best beach for swimming, but it's pretty clean and quiet. It's more a surfers beach with the waves, but I had a fun time. I like the quiet nature of the beach and the boardwalk. It's a nice area to walk around. I also enjoyed the swingset which brought back memories of my childhood. Overall, I'd consider coming back here again.

There is a small beach with sand on the river plus grassy land, a playground, bathrooms, parking and much more. Events are sometimes held here but there are plenty of beach goers, walkers and players making it their daily routine . The parking is plentiful. The bathrooms are like camping restrooms but definitely welcomed if you spend time there. There is soap but you air dry your hands no paper towels. The beach part has sand and wonderful views of the water and the river's other side. Plenty of room to lay out and catch some rays. This sliver of recreational fun is a go to for those with kids, those who exercise or just those who appreciate the sun & being in nature
