Recreation

Beaches

Beaches are the mainstay of our lifestyle at the Jersey Shore. You can easily walk to free ocean beaches at Sandy Hook. Unguarded beaches are free and walk-ons to Sandy Hook's guarded beaches are also free. Highlands also offers two guarded river beaches that are free: the Community Center beach and the Miller Street Beach.

At The Beach House, the Twin Lights of Navesink and Sandy Hook Lighthouse are just minutes away. We can't think of anywhere else quite like this.
