Depends on where you park. You can go to the Atlantic City end and get on the jetty right there
Still need a pass. Plodding along in the sand with cooler for 15 -20 minutes is a workout. Yes, there's parking in the neighborhood.
You can park a car on the road and walk there in a minute or two.
You can drive on the beach with a 4x4 beach pass or park off road, yes it is fairly close by the jetty.
