A reminder from Grumpys that Island Beach is open



You can get your 2013 Beach Buggy Permit at the park office (between the bathing pavillions, NOT the gate house) starting today! They will be available 7 days a week from 8AM to 4PM.
Expanded areas of Island Beach State Park have reopened, including access trails and parking lots at A-2, A-3, A-4, A-5 and A-6. You can use from Gillikins Road south to the A-7 access point. The Reeds Road parking area at the northern end of the park is also reopened, allowing fishermen on foot to access the beach through the maintenance trail. Restrooms at Ocean Bathing Area 1 are now open, as is the restroom facility at A-6. The air station for four-wheel drive vehicles at A-6 is also now operable. They are planning to reopen more of the park soon but no date has been set!
