From Aqua Explorers:
DIRECTIONS: (Holgate, Ocean County) Take the Garden State Parkway to Exit 63, Rt. 72. Stay on Rt. 72 over the bridge, then turn right on Long Beach Blvd. Drive south into Holgate, parking lot at end of road has heads and shower.
CONDITIONS:
Most the jetties along Long Beach Island or for that matter the New Jersey coast are productive for divers who want to hunt for lobsters and crabs or for spear fisherman looking for black fish. The
Holgate Jetty is the largest of these jetties on Long Beach Island and therefore provides area divers better opportunities to bring home dinner. According to diver Cathie Cush, the
Holgate Jetty is constructed of large cement blocks and rocks. The jetty is longer than it appears on the surface and as you move away from the beach the structure becomes submerged.
