Brick Beach 3 — Attraction in Brick Township

I've been going to BB3 for 30 years now. I'll never forget waking up early in the summer to ride the free white beach bus that would drop us kids all off at BB1 & we would trek down to BB3.

The waves are a nice size (without being overwhelming) and lifeguards are on duty during the day. Price is more than reasonable. Kids 12 and under are free. Badges for the beach and parking can be purchased from the parks & department to...

A pretty beach, although it's narrow and was very crowded when we visited. A decent amount of friendly and competent lifeguards was appreciated. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained, and there is a nice covered patio area with picnic seating and a food service area with some good breakfast and lunch items as well as ice cream and beverages, pretty reasonably priced. $5 to park (with abundant parking) and $8 to get on the beach makes it one of the best deals around. PS - there was a whale sighting later in the day! We...
