Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park

Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park is run by the Monmouth County Park System and covers 38 acres of beach in Long Branch. In summer it has guarded swimming, designated surfing areas, a snack bar, sheltered eating areas, a volleyball area, outdoor showers and changing areas, and a picnic tent that can be reserved for groups of up to 50.

Tony's Place is a universally accessible playground on the grounds, and a free Summer Fun program gives children with special needs and their families playground access under a permit. The Skateplex stays open year-round from 8 a.m. to dusk, weather permitting. Cartop boats such as kayaks and canoes can be launched, but vehicles cannot drive onto the beach.

The park opens at 8 a.m. and closes at 7:30 p.m. through October 31, earlier in winter. The county page notes that the beach season has ended and lifeguards are no longer on duty. Pets are not permitted in the park from April 1 to October 31, but from November 1 to March 31 they are allowed, leashed, including on the beach. The dunes are protected habitat.
