"The biggest float festival at the Jersey Shore!" 

TICES SHOAL

ABOUT FLOATS & BOATS

The biggest annual float party happening at Tices Shoal, NJ every summer!

 

It's no secret that unique floats are a "thing" now. First there were swans, then there were pizza slices, now there's a float for EVERYTHING!

 

Floats & Boats is simple, bring your REALLY COOL floats to Tices Shoal and hang with us for the weekend! We gather every year in the the bay (usually just south of the stairs) at Tices to bring together the coolest float party Tices has ever seen. Invite your friends, parents and dogs but make sure they don't come floatless!

 

* P.S. No basic floats and we do not promote the consumption of alcohol.

 

*This event is only able to be accessed by water. In the past, Island Beach State Park did not allow folks to park their cars and come over to the bay side. We expect it will be the same situation this year so we cannot encourage parking there. The only way to attend is by finding some form of water craft to float on over in!

* This event is intended for floaters of all ages !

F & B - Q & A

"Do we have to pay or buy tickets for F & B? 

Nope! Floats & Boats is a free event open to people of all ages. You do not have to buy a ticket to attend. 

"Where is F & B taking place?"

Floats & Boats takes places at Tices Shoals which is located on the bay side of Island Beach State Park in New Jersey. It can only be accessed by water. 

"Is there a 'main area' of the event?

Since boats are spread out throughout the bay, there is no way to have a designated 'main area' of the event. The Official Floats & Boats boat and crew is usually located directly south of the stairs.  

"Is there a DJ or music being provided?

There are multiple boats that will be playing music in the bay but since the music does not travel well on water, there is no main area with a DJ or music. There are always multiple boats that play their own music. 

"How do you get to Floats & Boats?

You can only get to Tices Shoal by watercraft. This event takes place in the bay so you must have a boat or some kind of floating vessel to get here. Unfortunately, you can not just 'float here', 'swim here' or 'kayak here' as that is not possible. Island Beach State Park also DOES NOT allow people to walk over from the beach side to the bay.
