点评:Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park is a military-friendly beach in close proximity to the Central New Jersey area that offers on-site amenities; in turn, it provides a packaged beach experience for your average beach-goer looking for an easy beach trip without extensive planning.
The first glaring difference that the beach at Seven Presidents has from most of the other beaches in the Jersey Shore suite is the shore-front parking. While there is a parking fee (this includes entry onto the beach), you are ultimately paying for the convenience and the amenities available on site which is warranted in most cases after a lengthy drive to a destination for relaxation rather than the added stress of trying to find street side parking. There appeared to be easily over 100 parking spaces on the property so it shouldn't be an issue if you arrive early or come during non-peak days.
After parking, you will generally walk through pavilion with a veranda area sheltering picnic tables in the center as you head toward the beach. Here you will find restrooms with showers, concessions stand, rinsing stations, and other shaded seating areas. The facility is well kept while the entire staff on the premises were super friendly and helpful.
Surprisingly, the concessions stand is more robust than expected, offering a range of fairly priced, decent eats from breakfast (served during early hours) and lunch, as well as other on-the-go snacks and drinks.
The beach itself is arguably what you would find for an average Jersey Shore beach, being that it is fairly well kept. You start off with fine sand as you walk onto the beach. There are debris and other seafaring articles that litter the sand as one might expect the closer you get to the water. The sand then extends about 10 meters into the waves before the sediment become larger in the size of stones and pebbles underneath the waters. During the day we went, the surf and swells were rather sizeable - great for bodyboarding and surfboarding. The lifeguard stations were well-manned and the life guards themselves appeared to be trained, alert, and proactive.
While we did not visit the playground, we were aware there was one on the property and it was one of the factors in our consideration to come to Seven Presidents.
Overall, this is a great beach, especially for an impulsive/impromptu trip!
翻译:七总统海滨公园是一个适合军事的海滩,靠近新泽西州中部地区,提供现场设施;反过来,它为普通海滩游客提供了打包的海滩体验,而这些游客希望在没有大量计划的情况下享受轻松的海滩旅行。
七总统海滩与泽西海岸套房中大多数其他海滩的第一个明显区别是海滨停车场。虽然需要支付停车费(包括进入海滩),但您最终还是要为现场提供的便利和设施付费,在大多数情况下,经过长途驾驶前往目的地放松后,您是值得的,而不是尝试额外的压力寻找街边停车位。酒店似乎有超过 100 个停车位,因此如果您提早到达或在非高峰期来的话,应该不成问题。
停车后,当您前往海滩时,您通常会穿过凉亭,凉亭的中心设有野餐桌。这里设有带淋浴的卫生间、小卖部、冲洗站和其他阴凉的休息区。设施维护得很好,酒店的所有工作人员都非常友好和乐于助人。
令人惊讶的是,小卖部比预期的要强大,提供一系列价格合理、体面的早餐(在凌晨供应)和午餐,以及其他随身携带的小吃和饮料。
海滩本身可以说是一个普通的泽西海岸海滩,因为它维护得相当好。当您走上海滩时,您会从细沙开始。离水越近,沙子上就会散落着碎片和其他航海物品。然后,沙子会向海浪中延伸约 10 米,然后沉积物在水下变成更大的石头和卵石。我们去的那天,海浪和海浪相当大——非常适合趴板和冲浪板。救生员站配备齐全,救生员本身似乎训练有素、机警且积极主动。
虽然我们没有参观游乐场,但我们知道场地上有一个游乐场,这是我们考虑来七位总统的因素之一。
总的来说,这是一个很棒的海滩,特别适合冲动/即兴旅行!
