Crab

Crabbing in NJ is a relaxing, fun activity for families that won't break the bank.

Crabbing supplies are relatively inexpensive and can be used multiple times.  Also, if you're lucky, you'll bring home a bushel of blue crabs for dinner.

There are many crabbing spots in NJ to discover, but here are some suggestions on where to crab in NJ:

Bass River Bridge in New Gretna has a great spot for crabbing under the Parkway and Route 9 bridge. There are some huge ruts in the road along the bridge to be careful parking.

Berkeley Island County Park is anothertop crabbing spot in NJ because it has a fishing and crabbing pier, a gentle bay-bathing beach, a picnic area and a playground area for kids. Also there are public restrooms.

Mantoloking Bridge on the border of Mantoloking and Brick is the perfect spot to go crabbing in NJ because the kids are away from the roadway in the concrete crabbing area under the bridge along the bulkhead. There's a bait shop nearby on Mantoloking Road where you can pick up supplies.  There is parking available at the foot of the bridge.
