It looks like Sandy Hook in NJ (near the top of the shore,and closest to the urban areas); it is well worth it to drive a few more minutes south, pay a couple of more dollars,and have a pleasant experience.
Benny go home
up here in Maine - we have lots of beautiful small beaches and coves and ponds - often all to ourselves - and Cocoa Bch in Florida - where I lived in the early ‘60’s - is STILL uncrowded, the water clean - amazing
But WAY back, in the ‘40’s, when I used to go to Revere Beach in Mass - it was crowded and the water was filthy. I can’t imagine what it must be like theses summers. YUK
No way I’d go to beaches like that
