MANASQUAN JETTIES
DIRECTIONS:
(Manasquan/Pt Pleasant, Monmouth County)
Take the Garden
State Parkway to Exit 98. Take Rt. 34 South, you will go straight
through two traffic circles. After the second traffic circle get on
to Rt. 35 South.
After crossing the Manasquan River make a left hand
"U" turn, then a quick right
onto Broadway.
Stay on Broadway to the end and turn left onto Ocean Ave.

CONDITIONS:
The
Manasquan
Jetties
are excellent not only for underwater photography but
for
lobster, black fish, crabs and even striped bass. The best dive
conditions are at high slack. The site does have several
regulations, but the benefits are well worth adhering to them.
First, diving is only permitted within 50 feet of the jetties or
bulkheads. Second, diving is only permitted east of an imaginary
line drawn from
Ocean Ave to First Ave (refer to diagram). Since
regulations may change it is
recommended to
contact local municipalities to check on up dates. Divers also
should realize that boat traffic through the inlet at this location
is heavy and divers
are urged, for
their own safety, to stay near the rocks. Diver Bill Schmoldt tells
us
that over the years a few small boats have gone aground on the
jetties. The
current quickly washes the little wrecks away or rips
apart the wreckage and leaves little remaining, but who knows what
souvenirs can be found by observant
divers.
