Great spot for launching glass boats..no rocks. Stockton Lake is tidal but no problem at this site.

Parking is free after Labor Day so great spot in fall. 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.
