Excellent ride, but caution going on a summer weekend morning, as beach traffic (and angry distracted drivers) can back up for a few miles.

The "tip" of Sandy Hook is an old military base with most structures still freestanding. The officers' houses along the water are slowly being renovated, and there is an AirBNB there now. https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/14005657?location=Middletown, NJ&s=QC6scfw3

Also, you do not have to pay the $15 entrance fee if you tell the person at the booth that you are just riding through and not parking. They also let military folks in for free.

Nice relaxing ride. There is a little bit of twisty fun (very little) however it is a beautiful & easy ride. And that is not a bad thing. Sandy Hook is spectacular but avoid this ride on summer weekends. The traffic can be atrocious, not to mention having to deal with paying to enter Sandy Hook, if you ever get there.

If I had to describe this route using one word, it would be "AMAZING!!!". The roads are smooth and there are a lot of things to see. It took me 2 hours to get there because I came from Northern Jersey (Newark) but it was worth every two hours. I could have gotten there way faster if I would have taken the Parkway North however I chose to take 35S (near exit 129S) to 36S. Make sure you take lots of pictures because it will be a memorial trip if you decide to take it.

Great ride during the off season! Remember to pack extra layers, the chill can be brutal!!

Great ride I've taken many times as I live in the area. For added fun head north on Hwy 36 and head up to Mount Mitchel for a panoramic view of Lower New York Bay. You can see all of Sandy Hook, Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, etc.
