Navy family here, we visit this beach when in the area and in need of escaping Belmar etc. crowds. Clean beach and amenities; outdoor shower, changing rooms etc. Feels semi private especially during weekdays and on-holidays. Populated by the usual range of ages and stages in military and otherwise. Bonus feature, my three young sons love driving slowly by the retired aircrafts on the museum grounds (when it's not super hot we plan to get out and see them up close!).
