Cattus Island is just the Ticket.
I have been visiting Cattus Island off and on for years now, it is a great spot all times of the year to take the dog for a walk, get the kids out in the fresh air and see some wild life. The last two weekends I took my Dog for a walk and a Quick Swim... They do want your dog on a Leash, so don't forget to bring one.
The Main Trail in to the beach from the parking lot is a little over a mile with a nice beach at the end that faces Silver bay Here is a photo from a few weeks ago on an overcast day
There are miles of Trails to choose from, here is a Link to a Trail MapI found on the Cattus Island website.
The last two trips we saw the usual bird life, along with Nesting Osprey and Oodles of Deer, I even saw a few Bucks which is a rare site.
Hiking is Flat and easy I would suggest bringing some Bug Spray just in case... Bugs are not always a problem, but they can be hungry at times. Along the trails you will see numerous Eagle Projects that were completed by Scouts over the years. One of the Osprey Nests and one of the benches were built in the past few years by kids from my sons Troop.
Right off of Fischer Blvd in Toms River it is easy to get to and worth the trip.
Have a great weekend!
