Sandy Hook Beach

Open

Sandy Hook, Highlands

"watch the beautiful sunsets from the Bayside"
Rent bikes to explore the shady trails
Gunnison Beach for clothing-optional sunbathing

Skip the traffic and sail to Sandy Hook on a 45-minute ferry from Manhattan. Six distinct beaches, 250-year-old lighthouse tours, and shady bike trails through a holly forest make this Gateway National Park escape feel worlds away from the city.
