Great all around - take what you need and clean up after yourself . Be mindful of pics too don’t take any on the beach.
I wouldn’t consider myself an expert beaches, but I have visited several around the world including Miami Beach (Sunny Isles), St. Barths, Hedonism 2 in Jamaica, and one near Nice, France. They are all distinctly different and each one has its own vibe. This review is for those who like to be around naked people at the beach. Gunnison sets itself apart from these others in several ways. First, it consistently has more people. That doesn’t mean it’s crowded necessarily, it just means you have to get there earlier to get a good spot and you have a lot more people to observe. The beach also has really good facilities relative to the others, including a nice snack bar (that even serves lobster rolls), good restrooms, and a small shop to rent beach chairs and buy towels. There is also a great view on clear days of the Manhattan skyline. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, there is a cart path over the sand out about halfway to the lengthy walk to the beach, which makes it a lot easier, especially if you have a cart (which is recommended). The beach population largely reflects society as a whole, with mostly average to overweight people, so don’t feel self conscious if you are hesitant to visit for the first time. Everybody minds their own business and I’ve never witnessed any bad behavior on a nude beach. The experience is actually very freeing because every body type is accepted. Gunnison is a perfect spot to blend in to the crowd.
Omg this place is paradise, people friendly, my 2nd home ❣️
One of my favorite beaches in NJ. Water isn't bad, but the community at Gunnison plus how well Sandy Hook in general is run by the Park Rangers makes this an incredible daycation. Spectacular views after about 10 mins of walking from the parking lot
Quiet and peaceful. Too many nudist found a place to just be human.
Amazing! Definitely a good back to place
The parking lots were filling up and so my daughter, husband and I went here to find a big lot because we had more friends joining us. When we realized how many people chose to be nude, we decided to turn back and go to another beach. However one woman who was high and her stoned boyfriend couldn’t get rid of us quick enough and shouted at us that we should not have children at their nude beach. People seem to think that it’s a 21 and over beach. If that’s the case, they should check Identifications and make families realize this. If it’s not an adults only beach, why are crazy people telling us we can’t be there? While I wasn’t planning to stay, I didn’t need my child, husband and I to be screamed at by an intoxicated woman stating that our child “shouldn’t even be there” as I was already exiting anyway. They should make sure people aren’t combative and possessive if they are going to decide to enjoy a beach where I would like to feel everyone is welcome. While I don’t want my child around so many nude guests, on a less busy day, we would have stayed because I don’t think a small spread out group of nude or semi nude swimmers will have any impact on me. People have the right to wear what they want, if this is a beach for all ages, why were people telling us basically kids aren’t allowed? Can’t they have better signs so parents aren’t a mile into the beach before they figure it out?
I love Gunnison Beach. It appears that a good portion of the blue roll-up walkway was removed - so more sand to drag your stuff through. - Not a show stopper but definitely something to prepare for.
Great place to feel free without any judgment
Nice place. Not too crowded
I've been there twice very comfortable great atmosphere love it
