Bridge was still out end of April. I have no idea how they get over but if there is low water I see where it may be passable, albeit some wet feet.

Marrcus, I was there that day too. Not fat and not old, maybe we didn't see each other?

Is the Bridge washed out or not? If so how do you get over to the beaches?

Went out there today around 1pm. the usual old trolls were out there plus a few straight couples, but nothing that I wanted to bother with. It's a shame that it doesn't catch on with the younger crowd. Nothing turns me off faster than some fat whale sunning itself on the beach.

Visited today, Saturday, around noon. Took a walk back to the location described and it was a quiet day. I'm suprised that there are not other cruising locaions in Wharton, so many possibilities! Drove over to Egg Harbor on Route 30 and checked out Red Barn and the other place next to the old Acme. Again nothing. Red barns theater had some very scary characters inside. A quick waste of ten bucks. Booths were empty. Probably just to nice a day for inside fun.

Was there today, there was a couple walking around and a separate teenage fem looking at the footbridge. No one was sociable at all, unfortunately the footbridge to the beaches has been washed out completely. There isn't any access to the beaches and most of the trail has been washed away.

Going there Monday afternoon. Hiking first then end up at one of the beaches for the afternoon. Finman, walk the dirt.road to the left of the church.Go over the bridge right behind the church. Follow the dirt road about 1/2 mile.You will come to an old parking area. Take a trail to the right and follow towards the river. You should come to a rustic bench.Alittle farther down is a small bridge. Go over the bridge,walk a little further on then go right. You should come to the first and largest of the beaches.Go upstream if there are clothed people there. There are some smaller beaches . Hope this help. my first time there by hiking I had to explore a bit to find it.

This is to bayshore; It is worth the 2 hr drive if you watch the posting and see who is interested in going. Otherwise the place is like you said, "just a walk inthe woods". I live in Hammonton but hardly go there anymore due to the lack of interest from others. It could be a great place to play but I guess the gas and the time it takes to get there is a deterrent

Going tomorrow, should be there midday, Topman, you take the path to the left of the church and then turn right at the open area on the trail...hope to see you there as well as bayshore and anyone else who wants to be nude and play
