Wanted to get an idea from people if there is much of a difference between these two beaches. I've been surfing in Belmar and I'm sick of the crowds in the summer, I figured that Bradley would be less crowded, maybe less garbage as well......are the two surf beaches pretty similar?
Belmar is filled to the brim with young college kids ready to party on weekdays as well as the clueless bennies. However, there are bennies in Bradley as well, and where there are bennies, there's always a trail of garbage (even though every beach entrance is equipped with 10 trash cans)...Originally Posted by njtransplant
Basically during the summer, everywhere is crowded... except for maybe Gunnison Beach! hahaha have fun with that
If you don't want to encounter the bennies during the summer just head down to the gay beach...they stay away from that area. Close to the pier...can't miss it!
There is a crowd everywhere you go during the summer. Best bet - surf pre 9am or post 5pm
yea that was my next comment. I do however know of one place a little north of Bradley that can be potentially uncrowded when those two spots are packed, but I don't wan't to give it away for any locals who want to keep it uncrowded for the select few decent summer days. One of my friends went there a lot this summer instead of Bradley and she said it was a lot less crowded = more waves
I think I will be searching for that spot......and when I said garbage, I meant physical garbage on the beach as well as the crowd.......
Dude!! they are less then a mile apart. Take a walk/drive and look.
There are a bunch of spots with uncrowded line ups. All up and down the coast. Either you are new to the area or you are just inexperienced. oh, btw people (a little north of Bradley).......don't go there or the locals will give you a shotgun facelift.

BZboarder17, I recommend you edit your post to leave out dirctions/spot locations. I'd hate to see you get an ass-pounding of a different nature at the location you mentioned. It' not crowded there (often) for a reason, and we prefer to keep it that way.
ohoooooooooooo haha.
**** em up!
