I'll be honest with this, the cost to get into Island Beach versus the cost of getting your family day passes to the Seaside Heights beach is incredibly cheap.
I'd like to think it's the kind of place where you'll be able to stock up on lunch meat, subs, beverages, and snacks before you head over the bridge and the prices for that stuff surge.
If you are ready for beach season, then you should know that one major publication says you don't even have to leave the state to visit one of the best beaches in the country.
