Sandy Hook National Park, just an hour and a half from New York City, is a perfect place for a bikini Beach shoot or post apocalyptic movie, whatever floats your boat. The island is covered by massive beaches, gun emplacements, missiles, forts, and all kinds of unique locations. The park even has a camp ground, so you can bring equipment, as well as the only “au naturel bathing” beach in the tri-state area. As a bonus, on a clear day you can see Manhattan.
