This is for a New Jersey lake, which is different from the shore:

Here's a fresh water beach along the Hudson River:

Narragansett, RI. I grew up 10 mins from there. Very touristy in the summer with lots to do nearby for kids. Also, block island ferry is about 15 mins Away and you could take a day trip there.

What are you looking for? The Hampton’s beaches are a little over 3 hours.



Is that legal?

Have you ever been to Fire Island. A little different. You can drive or train out Long Island and ferry over. Kismet or Saltairw maybe.

Mystic isn't really a "beach" town, but it's a fun 2-day trip for kids. The Seaport Museum is great, and there are big sailboats that go our on the Sound.

I know people who like Montauk - which I believe is farther out than the Hamptons.
