SANDY HOOK, NJ

From: richard@West.Sun.COM (Richard M. Mathews)

| SANDY HOOK is officially recognized as a nude beach by the National
| Park Service.  It is in the NE corner of the part of New Jersey which
  sticks into the Hudson River.  From the North take the Garden State
  Parkway to exit 117, and follow the signs to Sandy Hook.  From the
  South on the Garden State Parkway, look for signs for Route 36E, exit
  105.  Follow 36E all the way to 1 block short of the ocean & turn left
  to continue on rt 36 to Sandy Hook.

  When you arrive, ask the ranger at the gate for directions to the nude
  beach (Gunnison), Parking lot G.  Pay $5 on weekends, $4 on weekdays,
  $40 for the season (1995 prices).  Go by all the early beaches, continue
  past a guard house in the middle of the road-- you don't stop,  go past
  the so-called fishing area, stay to the right when the road splits
  directions.  You'll know you are close when you have to slow down to
  a crawl as you come around a curve and come upon people crossing from
  woods on the left to a beach pathway on the right.  Continue STRAIGHT
  ahead (do not turn right toward North Beach) and you'll see parking
  lot G.  When you get to the beach, walk down and bare to the right.
  You will see signs that warn that nude sunbathers may be encountered
  beyond this point.  Continue to the far end if you prefer the gay
  section.

  There are lifeguards and a refreshment stand.  Nudity is not a problem;
  the beach has been CO for 30 years.
