Sandy Hook is back.
The popular park in Monmouth County finally reopened early this morning following six months of shoveling through sand and debris that Hurricane Sandy dumped there.
Much of the seven-mile park, part of the two-state Gateway National Recreation Area, is again open to the public, from fishing spots to parking lots to walking trails.
Even its six public beaches are available to fishermen and for daytime strolls, though they won’t be open to swimmers for weeks.
Most of the roads have been cleared, all but one parking lot restored, and the campground is up and running. Students from Cedar Creek Elementary School in Lanoka Harbor are taking a field trip the park today.
