IBSP After Dark

  • Island Beach Nature Programs A13 Parking Lot, Island Beach State Park (map)

Join our park Naturalists for a guided night hike through the maritime forest and watch the world around you transform as the sun goes down. After your hike, gather around a warm beach bonfire and enjoy s’mores as the sun sets over the bay. For the first time, get exclusive access inside the Judge’s Shack, a historic building not open to the public. Hear captivating stories of the park’s past, tales of shipwrecks along the Jersey coast, and maybe even a ghost story or two!
