Cliffwood Beach Custom Search   We have a natural beach, good for surf fishing, boating, walking your dog. Swimming is best done on the ocean, not the bay, sorry to say. And there is no camping. Nearest spot is at Cheesequake State Park off Exit 120 of the Garden State Parkway. CB is not a ''pretty wet place''; it gets average summer rainfall for a temperate zone locale. Bird watching is good here. Nice view of Keyport harbor. The view of Whale Creek is not a remarkable vista for a postcard.     Says Pat Beach folks frequently enjoy this segment of New Jersey. The close by hotels are a little far from the beach, and if you make reservations before you go you're all set. Can't wait to get down to the beach, Cliffwood Beach in Monmouth County, New Jersey is an outstanding site for getting out. You can pitch that tent of yours or park your RV at a nearby campground. Perfect glittering water and the beautiful coastline is a beautiful view. There are more pursuits here other than simply hanging out at the beach like golfing, boating, fishing, whitewater paddling, and swimming, so being without pursuits will not occur.              Map Detailed Map Weather Local weather forecast These outdoors activities are available near Cliffwood Beach.   Other Beaches Near Cliffwood Beach: Raritan Bay Beach, Middlesex County , 1 miles away Seidler Beach, Middlesex County , 1 miles away Huguenot Beach, Richmond County , 5 miles away Annadale Beach, Richmond County , 6 miles away Belvedero Beach, Monmouth County , 6 miles away   Marinas Near Cliffwood Beach: Vikings Marina, Matawan , 1 miles away Brown's Point Marina, Keyport , 1 miles away Keyport Marine Basin, Keyport , 1 miles away Vikings Marina, South Amboy , 2 miles away Totten Marina, Staten Island , 4 miles away   Hotels Near Cliffwood Beach: Best Western Hazlet Inn, Hazlet , 3 miles away Holiday Inn HAZLET, Hazlet , 4 miles away Knights Inn South Amboy/Garden State Parkway South, Exit 125, South Amboy , 6 miles away Hampton Inn Woodbridge, Woodbridge , 7 miles away Holiday Inn Express WOODBRIDGE, Avenel , 7 miles away The Palace Hotel Raritan Center, Fords , 7 miles away Comfort Inn Staten Island, Staten Island , 7 miles away Holiday Inn Express STATEN ISLAND WEST, Staten Island , 7 miles away Holiday Inn CARTERET RAHWAY, Carteret , 8 miles away Days Inn Iselin - Woodbridge, Iselin , 8 miles away   Campgrounds Near Cliffwood Beach: Kaufman Campgrounds, Richmond County, 10 miles away Camp ABC, Tennent, 12 miles away Koala-T-Kids, Howell, 14 miles away Pine Cone Campground, Freehold, 15 miles away Bryn Mawr Camp, Millburn, 15 miles away   Ski Areas Near Cliffwood Beach: Tuxedo Ridge, New York , 42 miles away, 400 foot drop, 4 lifts, 7 runs Mt.
