From the reviews
It was very good to experience to visit this place and walk along Raritan Bay Waterfront. Cool breeze made things even better. It’s not a beach 🏖 place however small space is available to take sun bath n have some rest. It’s a great clam neighborhood around.
We went to Edison for lunch and was trying to find a park to spend relax wkd afternoon, then we found here. Wow what a hidden gem, beautiful ocean views, neat playground and restrooms. We also did a kite flying. Highly recommend.
I loved how beautiful this place is. It has a beautiful new boardwalk that borders the bay with a beautiful view of Staten Island, Brooklyn and Manhattan (in the distance). It's pet friendly and a quiet place to take a beautiful walk or even relax on the beach.
Always the best. Visited the beach front today, even if only for a few minutes. The sound of the waves and the open sky brought such a peaceful feeling. It’s amazing how nature can calm you without saying a word.”
Getting married at Raritan Bay Waterfront Park
Raritan Bay Waterfront Park is a public beach or park, so a ceremony here almost always needs a permit from the managing city, county, or state parks office — and the rules matter: many public beaches cap your guest count, set ceremony windows, and restrict what you can set up (some ban chairs, arches, and amplified sound entirely). There's no on-site coordinator, catering, or weather backup, so you'll bring your own vendors and a rain plan. The payoff is a stunning setting at a fraction of a private venue's cost. Start with our public-beach permit guide, then call the local office to confirm this season's rules.
