Old Bridge Township: Furman Blvd & Lake Ave
About
Old Bridge Township: Furman Blvd & Lake Ave is a public beach access point in New Jersey, within the Cliffwood Beach area and about 0.8 miles from the community of Cliffwood Beach. It's an access spot rather than a swimming beach, and swimming is not allowed here. Parking is available, and there is no fee to use the access. That makes it a simple, no-cost stop for time along the shore, as long as you plan to stay out of the water. Typical averages from the Freehold-Marlboro weather station, about 10 miles away, put the most comfortable stretch in late spring and early fall. Highs reach about 72°F in May and 78°F in September, while July peaks around 86°F. Several walking routes lie a short drive away. The Yellow Trail Hiking Route is about 2.3 miles off, the Blue Trail Hiking Route is about 2.5 miles, and the Green Trail Hiking Route is about 2.8 miles.
