if your going their just to swim, you can't .Its illegal so bring a flotaison device or just bring your board.
Atmosphere
this place goes off.the right and lefts are amazing. bring your longboard in the summer and youll get almost 1:00 rides. Breaks of a mini jetty and sets break outside. Very powerfull wave and sometimes it is dangerous it gets so big.
Street parking is difficult.
General
I think this spot goes off with offshore winds and a ne swell. I'm a local here and the water can get very cold .

Loch Arbor is good Darlington is shit - Growing up in the area surfing/bodboarding, I always went to lach arbor and aleenhurst (surfers beach.
surfing wise loch arbor is great it can produce some nice breaks.
body boarding i considered loch arbor more of a bodyboarding area then allenhurst.
when the storms role in and the life guards put up the red flag (and when they arent there) surfers, body boarders, and sometimes insane boyd surfers all coe-exist in the same area and just have one hell of a time.
when i still went to allenhurst beach, and ocean township highschool, i use to love getting out of class in early september and hitting loch arbor up for some good waves, it got a bit crowded on the weekends even in early september but that was because of the wive quality.
when hurricane season is in effect and the beach picks up the swells they can produce some waves that are 15 feet on the face and produce some nice tubes and some powerfull force.
on a mild day its for every skill level, on a big day its only for the people who are ballsy and good.
its deffinetly a good time for surfing and bodyboarding. just watch out for the local long boarding assholes and youll be fine.
