In Long Branch. Down the road from West End. I'd say about 5 min drive. Park on street and walk down to the beach. You have to pay though. DistanceIn the city WalkInstant access (< 5min) Easy to find?Easy to find Public access?Public access Special accessDon't know |

Surf it like you would any other waves. Watch out for the bennys and spongers though. During the summer the crowd on the beach is average but surfing has designated areas next to the jettys. Big weekends like 4th of July have huge crowds if it's nice and the ocean is filled with people.

close out - Seven Presidents is basically a close out on the sand. You can watch for an hour and everyone is going straight. Good. . . for nothing.
