Windward Beach Park

The tide came up mid walk, so we ended up having to walk through ankle deep water on the way back

We visited here for the Fallfest last Saturday afternoon. The fields were packed with food trucks around the perimeter, lots of bounce houses, ax throwing cage, hay bales, benches for taking a load off, many portable potties... two beer gardens and a firework show at the end of the day over the water that was spectacular. Very family friendly, great people, lots of police presence and just an amazing event overall.

Such a nice place to go with friends or family. Beautiful "beach like" setting. Though it's really just a large body of water, but you can hear the endless waves crash to the shore. In the distance you can watch boats and see houses in the far distance. Lots of parking, great place for picnic and nice playground for kids as well.

Windwood beach was absolutely amazing. The grandkids, 6 and 8 had a wonderful time. It was really nice. I recommend windward beach for anybody with little children.

What I'd call, another hidden gem in NJ. (At least I was unaware of it until today)

The park is absolutely beautiful, it's HUGE. There's parking, handicap included, closer to the kids playground area and then parking further down closer to the water.
It seemed like there were some walking/hiking paths and dogs were everywhere!
The beach itself was a little smaller but you are unable to swim in it anyway and it didn't seem like it got too busy where overcrowding was an issue. We'll see come summer though!

The rocks and weathered glass we found was gorgeous and were ample.

Playground area: There were two play areas-one for younger kids, and one for children I'd say that are 3 and up with a little library across the street.

Other amenities: There were bathrooms, 3 horseshoe rows(closer to the parking lot across from the children's play area), and picnic tables(although they weren't out yet).

I loved it here and can't wait to come back already!
