Sandy Hook Traffic

How has it been coming in and out on Saturdays this summer? I know the last time I came years back; it took at least a half hour to leave the weekend I was there. I hope the supposedly new bridge solved those problems.

I haven't had any problems but I only go on weekdays.

Hey there. My advice to avoiding growing old sitting in traffic is to arrive at the Gateway National Park entrance anytime before 7 AM. As anyone whose visited the Jersey Shore, it's always best to arrive as early as possible. PLUS, if you arrive before 7 AM, you avoid paying the $20.00 parking fee. My longtime friend & I have been using this method for so long I can't remember the last time we paid. As for leaving Gunny Beach, we usually leave around 3 PM and fly through while others are waiting in line to enter the park. I hope this helps.

Did you go last year?
They were checking the parking lots for tags being displayed.
I got a warning because I had forgotten and put mine in the glove box.

If the last time you went was while the new bridge was being constructed, weekday traffic is much better now, so I assume weekend would be also.

Hey,
Thanks for answering. I also wanted to know that if the weather is nice enough, is this something you would recommend even before June 21st? The reason I ask is because I see the parking fees start as early as Memorial Day Weekend. Idk if you go that early in the season. Thanks again.

Weather before Memorial Day is hit and miss, mostly miss.
Quite often when I have gone, even if it is very warm inland, there is a cool breeze off the ocean at the beach and you have your choice of being comfortably nude or naked, can't be both at the same time.
