Best same day or overnight beach trip?

Then aim for North OC (don't take Rt 50 all the way in to South) and there's plenty of parking around, lots of places to eat, and you miss the madness of the boardwalk.

But you must leave early in the morning on a weekend day. Otherwise you may as well stay home. We usually drive back while it's still light out (about 6pm) since it's a long day and you're tired.

We go to the DE beaches every year. You cannot get to OC within 2 hours. It's 2 hours to the DE border or Cambridge depending on which way you go. If you don't pay attention to the speed limits 2 hours may be doable, but there's still a lot of one lane roads.

I also go to the DE beaches frequently. OC is closer, by at least 30 mins. 2 hours is probably agressive, yes, but if you leave early enough, it's entirely possible. OC does NOT have as many tiny two lane roads to get to it as the DE beaches do. Which is why I think it's an easier day trip than the DE beaches, even though I like those more.

Breezy Point and Flag Ponds are great, especially with little kids.
