About
Pennsville Township: Church Landing Rd & N River Dr is a public beach access point in New Jersey, about 2 miles from the town of Pennsville. It's a simple stop with parking on site, and there is no fee to use it. Swimming is not allowed here, so plan on visiting for time along the shore rather than getting in the water. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Wilmington show May highs around 74°F and September highs near 79°F, while July averages about 87°F. Several other outdoor spots lie within a short drive. Grassland Trl is about 4 miles away, and the Northern Delaware Greenway and Brandywine Trail are both within about 9 miles.
