Answer
Firm wet sand between low tide and the high-tide wrack line packs best for towers and moats—midtown and north-end guarded blocks often have wide strips before umbrella rows deploy. South-end Inlet sand works at dawn before Boardwalk crowds. Ask Beach Patrol if today’s surf leaves enough flat beach.
