NYC ⇄ Stone Harbor: free carpool & ride share board

Plenty of New Yorkers make the run down the Parkway to Seven Mile Island every summer weekend — usually with empty seats. Down the Shore Rides is a free community board where drivers post those seats and riders grab one, splitting gas and tolls directly. No fees, no apps in the middle, no fares.

How the trip works

It's roughly 2½–3 hours: out of the city, down the Garden State Parkway to Exit 10 — the exit for Stone Harbor and Avalon. Drivers and riders text to agree on a pickup spot and a fair gas/toll split before the trip.

Why not a bus or rideshare?

There's no direct transit from NYC to Stone Harbor — buses involve transfers and a taxi or Uber that distance is wildly expensive. A shared ride with someone already driving is door-to-door and cheap for everyone.

Driving down anyway? Post your empty seats in about 30 seconds — riders chip in for gas and tolls, and you get alerts when someone grabs a seat. Offer a ride →
