The seasonal ferry from Brooklyn Pier 6 is the best summer option -- no bridge toll, no parking fee, and it drops you at the bathhouse.
The Marine Parkway Bridge toll ($2.95) applies to all car access. Factor this into your trip cost along with the $35 parking fee.
Free parking in the off-season (after Labor Day) -- the beach is uncrowded and often beautiful in September and October.
Call Gateway NRA before driving on holiday weekends: (718) 318-4300. They manage lot access and can confirm capacity.
