Throughout the summer we've been on the lookout for free beaches in New Jersey. which is not that easy to do in the Garden State. So far we've come up with Sea Isle City on Wednesdays as well as Beach Haven. Here's a great beach that is not only in close proximity if you live in Monmouth County but offers a great view of the New York skyline while you swim and work on your tan. I'm talking about Keansburg. As their website says "Families have been enjoying the scenic beaches of Keansburg Amusement Park for over 100 years. Not only are our beaches FREE, but offer a beautiful summer breeze while overlooking the skyline of lower Manhattan"
