   Hello,
It has recently occurred to me that my Pennsylvania home is within day tripping distance of the ocean.  This is really cool to me as i grew up 2000 miles from either coast.

Anyways, i want to take a crack at shore fishing and clam digging.  What i am looking for is a good shore location to try it out. 

Does anyone know of  any good remote spots? really all i need is an access road, i have a 4WD jeep. somewhere i can go with the kids for the day and experiment without a lot of onlookers.

Thank you for any ideas ad for your time.

it is nearly impossible to get away from people at the jersey shore especially without a boat, theres some creeks that feed into the delaware bay where you can avoid people and catch crabs, clams, and fish but you need a boat, you might want to think about getting a  jon boat or something if your interested in clamming or crabbing with the kids

You can rent a small boat with a motor at Browns Point Marina in Keyport NJ.  Good crabbing and fishing close by.

Yeah thanks for the tip, a boat is definitely in my long term plan. I guess until then I cant be too picky.

What about Cooks Beach. has anyone fished there? if so whats it like
