Our family (dogs and children under 10 included) tried Brigantine beach for the first time. Our stay was lovely! The location and easy access to the beach was perfect. The kids could ride their bikes on roads with minimal traffic, lots of places to walk within a mile and the beach supplies at the house (chairs and cart) were so helpful! The house was very clean and supplied most basic towels and bedding. Things to know if you are not familiar with Brigantine, there are limited dining options and no farm stands so bring food you want to cook/eat at the house. It is also mostly “bag free” and promotes reusable bags, so have them handy anywhere you go. The island is also mostly a “cash preferred/required” place, which we were not prepared for as we have found more “paperless” travel destinations lately. Last note, we found a lot of blogs about the beaches being “dog friendly” but found ZERO beach’s to take our dogs. Overall, our beach week getaway was just what we needed!
