Hello! As a Jersey shore native, and very accustomed to being able to go to a nice beach easily, what are the best beaches/areas to go to for getting some sun and water fun? I know the pools don't open till the end of June and I am looking to go as local as possible. I have a car. I heard about the Medford lake but apparently you need to have a Medford residency so that stinks. Is there anything like that around here?

I went to Revere beach last summer and it was just so disgusting that my roommate and I left an hour in and went to the Dilboy pool instead.

That is if it does ever get to be beach weather before the end of June (I hope).

At Singing Beach, you will still need to pay an admission fee if you arrive by foot or bike, but it's much less than the parking fee.

It may have changed, but I found that the collection of admission fees at SB is super spotty. I think 9 times out of 10 there was no one there to charge us (I haven't gone in a few years though).

I haven't been there in a while but recall being charged a small fee ($3?). I can't find information on the fee on the town's website.

Are you sure parking is "easy" there? Most of the spaces are reserved for town residents; everyone else has to find some place to park around the commuter train station and walk in from there.

Parking at Singing Beach is easy only after 5 PM or on cloudy days; otherwise don't bother.
