This is exit 82 off of the Garden State Parkway. It's important that visitors access this via Garden State Parkway and if traveling from the west, they use I 195. Many smaller "cut thru" roads are closed.

It is also important that visitors fuel up before coming this close to the coast. Due to power outages, there are fewer stations open and some lines for gas.
