Know before you go

The East Coast's best-known nude beach, on National Park Service land at Sandy Hook. Park in Lot G and walk over the dune. Beach fee in season. Big, social, well-established.

☀︎ First-timer tip: The most welcoming first-timer nude beach in the Northeast — busy and friendly, especially weekends. Go toward the middle; the ends are cruisier.
