Gunnison Beach (Sandy Hook)

If you’re ready to lose your inhibitions and tan au naturel — get nekid at New Jersey’s only clothing-optional beach. Located roughly 45-minutes north of Asbury Park, the beach also provides views of the New York City skyline on a beautiful day of sightseeing. You want to head to the most southernmost section of Area G — past the fishermen and the straights — for the gay area.
