Stockton Lake is tidal but no problem at this site.

Lots of parking. Can bring car right up to beach and drop off.
Comments:
Head out toward left to Glimmerglass and into Manasquan River.
I like this site better than Glimmerglass at Perrine Avenue where the
parking is limited and lots of rocks at the launch site.
