I ve been going here for years ! Yesterday was so crowded my husband and I were searching for parking everywhere. The lots were charging $30 which is ridiculous but we we re willing to pay in order to be closer to the boardwalk. Which is easier for us bc we are traveling with our 1yr old & 5 yr old and I m also 8months pregnant. However all the the lots were full. We finally found parking at the end of the beach far away from Jenkinson s. Once we reached the beach entrance we were told No one couldn t get on the beach. It was 6pm we were advised that we needed to arrive before 5:30pm in order to paid full admission $10 to enter the beach. We offered to pay but no one would take our money. Many families who arrived late all were turned away. We drove over an hour just to have our poor kids watch other children & families play on the beach. We stood there in shock! Our kids cried there holding their toys & sand buckets. What a Horrible experience they Ruin our Saturday family road trip.
