About Stone Harbor Point
In addition to having both ocean and inland waterway frontage, "The Point" has areas of dense seaside undergrowth, low grassy dunes, and wet, tidal marshlands. The ocean beach is a favorite with summer tourists while the sandy dunes, just a few hundred yards away, are summer nesting grounds for Piping Plover, Common Tern, Least Tern, Black Skimmer and American Oystercatcher. The marshy areas are home to various sparrows and Clapper Rail. This is a principal stopping off point for migrating shorebirds; virtually every shorebird species seen regularly in southern New Jersey can be seen here, depending upon time of year.

Open daily from dawn to dusk. Beach tags required from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Call Borough of Stone Harbor for information. Visitors are asked not to walk near nesting enclosure areas for birds during spring and summer. There is a large parking lot on site; it is closed from 2:30 am to 5:30 am. Look for new educational signs and viewing platforms.

This is a sensitive site because of the beach nesting birds, so large areas may be roped off and inaccessible for periods of time in Spring and Summer. From Stone Harbor Point (New Jersey Audubon) web page
