the Island Beach State Park Home Page |
Shaped
by storm and tides, Island Beach State Park is
a narrow barrier island
stretching for 10 miles between the
restless Atlantic Ocean and the quieter Barnegat
Bay. Island Beach is one of
New Jersey's last significant remnants
of a barrier island ecosystem that once existed
along much of the coast and is
also one of the few remaining undeve-
loped barrier beaches on the north
Atlantic coast. Over 3,000 acres and
10 miles of coastal dunes remain almost untouched
since Henry Hudson first
described New Jersey's coast from the
ship, the Half Moon, in 1609. |
