Each neighborhood has its own vibe. We are partial to Beach Haven, rent a bike and explore the restaurant scene & beautiful beaches.
Climb the Barnegat Lighthouse for panoramic views. If you aren't such a fan of heights, there are gorgeous trails around the lighthouse to explore. Located on the northern end of the island.
Lots of spots for day-time live music including the Sea Shell Hotel tiki bar and next door at the Engleside hotel beach bar. Bird and Betty's has a rowdier evening scene for those looking for another night of fun. Head to the Hudson House for a true dive experience & juke-box.
Our favorite spots! North End: The Mud City Crab House & The Boat Yard. South End: The Black Whale (happy hr), Bird & Bettys (deck views), Parkers Garage (upscale water views), The Gables (special occasion & beautiful ambiance).
