Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park is a 38-acre beach park located in Long Branch, New Jersey. It offers a variety of activities and amenities, making it a popular destination for both locals and tourists. The park is named after seven U.S. presidents who visited Long Branch, including Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, Chester A. Arthur, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, and Woodrow Wilson. Visitors can enjoy swimming, surfing, fishing, and kayaking, as well as a snack bar, sheltered eating areas, and outdoor showers. The park also features a year-round skateplex and Tony's Place, a universally accessible playground.
The park's history is rich, having once been the site of "The Reservation" for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Today, it serves as a protected ecological habitat with sand dunes that act as a natural barrier against severe storms and provide a habitat for threatened bird species.
In the off-season, the park remains a great spot for quiet walks and offers opportunities for winter birding and ice-skating when the pond freezes.
