I remember as a kid my Grandparents, who lived in Holiday City - Toms River, took us to a little tiny lake beach there in Holiday City. It was a quiet little beach on the lake there and it had a nice little sandy beach and a small area for swimming. We loved it there. It was quiet and calm so it was easy for them to keep an eye on us and not worry about a big wave taking us out lol. It was a great place for small children and these are the types of beaches that made this list of the best non-ocean beaches in Ocean County.
