I am a beach/sun junkie and Ocean Beach is one of the best deals out there. They let you buy a season pass. I forgot exactly how much, but it was around $70.out of town and 40. for residents, for the entire summer for a car full. to go to the beach every day if you want. I only get... more

I went to Ocean Beach a week ago as it was the place my father, Steve Jackson, passed away on Christmas eve 2008. It was a nice, quiet, peaceful place. My father greatly loved nature and frequently took walks on Ocean beach. Although we never may know exactly how he passed out on the beach, this place will always hold... more

I took my three children here on Memorial Day and all i can say is WOW!. What a wonderful park. While the ocean water was cold, the kids had a blast playing in the sand, which was clean and beautiful. A family near us mentioned the free spray park and we headed up to check it out. The kids LOVED... more

The beach use to have big valleyball tournaments like the Jose Cuervo Tournament. ESPN would be here doing" live coverage " This alone was a boost to the park's advertising.... more

I've never seen a bigger waste of beautiful space ever. After paying $14.00 I arrived at 11am. The rides were not open until 12pm. Neither were any of the concessions. (hello? this is the summer. Anyone have toddlers that nap in the afternoon? so stupid.) All I saw were ugly, dated buildings and wasted boardwalk space. Who runs this place?... more

This was the highlight of our trip to the mystic... more

While my husband and I paid $12.00 to enter the park, we walked onto the beach, turned around and left. We are acustomed to the clean beaches of southern New Jersey. Ocean Beach Park was nothing near clean. The sand was littered with cigarette butts and the buildings show their age. While this may be an OK place to bring... more

What a fantastic place for the whole family! For only 12$ US dollars for parking, you get to enjoy the beach, which is warmer than Maine and other places because is the Long Island Sound and not the wide open ocean BUT there are all the advantages anyway: Waves, tons of seashells for kids to collect, a little lake FILLED... more

This beach park has it all! We love it and go there several times a summer. Bring a net to go crabbing in the little river that flows into the ocean. Also, a raft to float down it. There is something for everyone here. more
