Nun's Beach is a quiet stretch of Atlantic-facing shoreline near Stone Harbor on the southern New Jersey coast, offering mellow beach break waves over a sandy bottom. The uncrowded lineup and forgiving conditions make it ideal for beginners and longboarders seeking a peaceful session away from more popular breaks. Fall swells from nor'easters and tropical systems provide the most consistent surf, with westerly winds grooming clean faces.
