There is a side road there. It is 2 blocks down from a Yamaha dealer called Stumpies Yamaha. It is the inlet to the ocean or you can hang out in the bay also. The bay isn't very deep so watch out on low tide. You can go through the inlet into the ocean and there is always at least three foot waves. Lots of fun and lots of other guys to ride with out there. (How about JetBabes?) Denise & Rick Brigantine: One way in one way out. Go to Atlantic City. Go to Harrahs Casino, when you get near follow signs to Birgantine. Two ways to go riding: 1. Get a beach permit at city Hall for $100 for your tow vehicle and another $100 for your ski. 2. Go to boat ramp which is half way in the Island. Go to nearest gas station for directions. Boat ramp is free. When you leave ramp, get your gas First. You'll need it. Head towards inlet which is south, oh by the way. Enjoy scenery along your way. When you see the big bridge you are near to all the action. There are about 4 gas docks to get gas. One near USCG station is cheapest and better quality. Target run is the inlet, side of brigantine beach where all others are thrashing. Waves are about 3 to 4 feet on a flat day and 5 to 6 on a windy day. Prepare to air!!! Oh and watch out for dolphins and manatees. If you are planning to come down, contact me and me and my buddies will show you the way. Contact us at: [email protected] 609-822-0897. There are other places too but if you want to know more contact me, I'll fill you in with all the details. "Ride Fast, Ride Hard, Fly Higher" oh yeah and be safe? Erika and her friends ride every summer in Brigantine, NJ. We think it is an ideal spot for any thrill you are looking for! At high tide in the back bays there are miles and miles of narrow twisting waterways (they range from about 30ft across all the way down to about 6-8ft!) to explore at high speeds or at a leisurely pace. One is even shaped like an oval race track...the guys really like that one! Also this spot is only a 2 minute ride (by water/jetski) to the ocean where you can do some serious wave jumping! If you're a nature lover there are dolphins everywhere in the ocean area during the summer. This place gets my vote until I find better... One of the best places to ride in southern New Jersey is Barnegat Bay. To get there take the Garden State Parkway to exit 67. And make left at the light. Then just keep driving straight until you get to the public dock. Launching fees are between free to 10 dollars depending on the time of day you launch. That also get you parking as well. Gas in easy to come by both on and of the water. Hotels are limited to one motel in town and parts and service are easy to get but if a mechanic is needed prepare to wait a while. Their is only one restaurant on the water, Sun Harbor Cafe which is priced accordingly. Other than that Barnegat Bay has about one to two foot chop and is only five minutes(on water) to the Barnegat Inlet.(Ryan Broderick) Casey Speedlaw suggests Long Beach, New Jersey. I suggest that PWC lovers check out the Barnegat Inlet, and the sandbar just outside and to the south of the inlet. This is "double black diamond territory" For the expert PWC rider, this cannot be beat. Launch at the Barnegat Light Public Ramp, on 10th Street for $11.00, $70.00 season. Take it easy and go left around the small island, not through the marina. Watch the channel, as the sandbars come up at low tide. NO WAKE past the Coast Guard station. The Barnegat Light is to your right. The inlet is smooth until 1/2 way out, as the area near the inlet mouth is quite rough, moreso than the open ocean. Once past the inlet mouth, you will see a huge field of breakers to the right, 15-20 feet, and with good room between. These are right outside the inlet. Stay off the row of breakers near the beach, as it is heavily used by swimmers. This field is very reliable and the week I was there, was up every day. The work done to keep the Barnegat Inlet open for commerce results in the sand building up on the south side. This is **only for the experienced rider**. I went out three times on my Superjet, and each time was different-all three times were not only big, but HUGE. Once you are past the no-fun chop of the inlet, the field of waves is just perfect and consistent. Near the Southern end, you can nip in and out of this field, going from smoother water to the breakers, not from the garbage near the inlet to the breakers. Easy 30 and 40 foot jumps, with a multitude of lines, and option to jump the face or the back of the wave. I saw mammoth sit downs clearing great air here too. Magazine Cover territory, if someone could figure out how to sit still with a camera. The novice should go left at the Barnegat Light, and go into the bay. Smooth water and lots of space. Watch out for sandbars at low tide. I repeat-if you are not comfortable with 20 foot swells, are not willing to watch the weather and tides, and are not able to deep water board under all conditions, this is not a place for you.

I have been going to this spot for years. If one plans to vacation or visit Wildwood, NJ for the day, there is a marina ramp not far from the ocean. When in wildwood, make a right (south) on Pacific Ave. Take this all the way down. You are now entering WIldwood Crest and the ocean should be a couple of streets to your left. GO all the way down on Pacific to the hotel come to an end and looks like you are leaving the area. You should pass a WAWA and new condo's on your left. This road leads up to a 50 cent toll bridge. (Coast Guard property with a huge antenna on your left.) GO over the very small bridge. About 300 feet after this bridge you will see a marina on your left hand side. Pull in there. In the back right is where you pay. I am pretty sure it was 10 dollars for all day. The marina is on the inlet for the ocean. To the left, wildwood, to the right Cape May. Going into the ocean is a little choppy during entrance. But in the inlet path, a good 5-7 foot (smooth waves) when low or high tide changes. Pull a left and you will see the hotels for wildwood. Just don't go too close to shore cause there are many people swimming and the life guards get mad. Go 4 days after a storm and watch out! If you decide to go right after the inlet, you will see the beach for cape may. About a mile down the water gets calm with small waves. This is a good spot to explore. I was once screamed at by a life guard here. (My battery connector came off when I was about 400 feet off shore line.) I did not have a screw driver so make sure you go out with someone. The Life guard was yelling at me because I kicked my feet and my pwc onto the shore line. Have fun and don't hit the dolphins!!!!! *Make sure you have a full tank** this MARINA has gas-pumps and a hose to flush and wash your ski.
