Review:
Island Beach State Park protects one of the United States' largest areas of undeveloped barrier island, stretching for nearly 1,900 acres across two northern and southern natural area sections on Berkeley Township's Barnegat Peninsula.
The park, which is located just south of Seaside Park, is a popular spot for swimming, kayaking, and fishing throughout the summer months at areas that are open to the public as recreational sites.
The Sedge Island Marine Conservation Zone protects over 1,600 acres of lovely tidal marsh, pond, and open water areas and is home to the state's largest osprey colony.
Visitors can frolic along the park's white sand beaches, which offer lifeguarded swimming areas throughout the summer months. Dune buggy and four-wheel-drive vehicle access are permitted throughout certain areas of the park. Map
