North Middletown - all beaches

This beach is truly beautiful, however, I have only visited during the winter season when the amenities are closed. The distance from the parking lot and facilities to the beach can be quite a trek, but the reward is finding some lovely shells, especially for the New Jersey area. One perk of visiting in January or February is the lack of crowds. While the old bunkers add a cool element to the scenery, unfortunately, they are not accessible to visitors. Additionally, this beach is a fantastic location for observing birds.

This serene location is an idyllic haven for those seeking tranquility. The beach is tucked away from the hustle and bustle, providing a peaceful escape. As it is situated in a bay, the water may differ slightly from the ocean, but it only adds to the charm of this natural oasis. The setting is truly breathtaking, with an unspoiled landscape that soothes the soul.

While not the most exceptional beach on Staten Island, it still holds a special place within the stunning Wolfe's Pond park.

This beach is situated in a remote location that provides just the right amount of seclusion. The parking area is spacious, and there's a convenient shower facility to rinse off after your swim. The dunes are adorned with greenery, and we even spotted a couple of deer wandering around in the evening. The man-made pathway leading to the water is sturdy and smooth, making it accessible for wheelchairs. While the swimming experience was enjoyable, the bottom of the water was slightly uneven and could be challenging for those with sensitive ankles. However, it didn't deter us from having a good time. On the opposite end of the beach, there's a marina with boats, which adds to the overall charm of this picturesque location.
