I finally made it out to Singing Beach last weekend. My 12-yr niece & her friend were visiting from CA and they really wanted to go to a beach. I live in the city so we took the commuter rail which was a little expensive for 3 round trips, but not so bad if you're just paying for yourself. The train ride seemed short and the walk to the beach is nice. Being from CA, I'm not used to paying a fee to go to the beach, but I think it is worth it since the beach was really well maintained. It was a beautiful day and was as pretty as a postcard. The girls were in the water as soon as we put our stuff down and they loved the waves. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. My advice is to bring your own food rather than relying on the snack bar which has limited options. The employees, although nice, were eating french fries right out of where they get your fries from and then touched the next persons food without washing their hands. I guess that shouldn't be a shock when everyone working there is still in high school. Other than my sunburn and still frozen-in-the-middle preztels from the snack bar, we all had a great day at the beach. A stop at Captain Dusty's Ice Cream was the perfect finish to the day. I will definately go back!
Pros: clean, beautiful beach
Cons: snack bar, bathrooms
