On our way we drive through the town of Toms River on the mainland. We cross the bridge into Seaside Heights and head south. The park is located on the southern end of the barrier island and lies between Seaside Park to the north and Barnegat Inlet and Long Beach Island to the south.
It is a perfect destination if you are looking for a series of short hikes as the island is very narrow. There are several parking areas adjacent to paths that wind through dunes and maritime forests on the ocean side and marshland on the bay side.
We were hoping to see some of the resident foxes that we have seen in the past but were no where to be seen.
