ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Sandy Hook has no summer entrance fee for birding as long as you park in
designated lots. Tell the toll attendant "you are birding and not parking in
beach access lots." This allows you to park at the Visitor Center, Horseshoe
Cove, Scout Camp, all Fort Hancock lots, K-lot, and SHBO. Fees are not charged
before 7 am and after 5 pm. If you arrive before 7 am an attendant at the
Ranger Station will give you a pass that allows you free access to all parking
areas. Note that with summer beach traffic and the reconstruction of the Sea
Bright-Highlands Bridge it is advisable to arrive and leave early in order to
avoid delays.
