Let's see I you have ever been to any of their choices and, if not. It may be time to put them on your summer bucket list.

Here are the seven beaches chosen as some of the best hidden beaches at the Jersey Shore.

New Jersey Beaches That Aren't Crowded

Have you ever been to these beaches? Popamora Point on Sandy Hook Bay, Higbee Beach in Cape May County, Brigantine in Atlantic County. Holgate in LBI, Strathmere, also in Cape May, North Wildwood, and Seaside Park.

That's a great bucket list for this summer. You'll still have to navigate Jersey Shore traffic to get to these beaches, but at least when you get there, you'll have more breathing room than the other beaches.

We promised you we'd add one choice of our own to the list, and we cheated a little. Our choice is on the Barnegat Bay,

If you're looking for a quiet spot that's not crowded with a great view of the Barnegat Bay, you should give Windward Beach in Brick a try.

Wherever you decide to go this summer, we hope it's a fun and safe time for you and your family.
