Things To Do
Bay Head Beach
One of the best things about Bay Head is, of course, the beach! You do need a badge for access, but you can easily pop into the BHIA office on the corner of Lake Ave and Mount Street to pick up a day pass. There's an access point on Lake and East Ave, just two short blocks away from the badge office.
Coffee at Noon
Coffee at Noon is a must for getting your morning (or afternoon, we don't judge!) caffeine fix. Located inside a beachy boutique, we dare you to walk out the door without both a coffee/tea and a special treasure. Hot tip: they also carry freshly baked Balthazar pastries!
Source and Tradition Gallery & Studio
Located directly next to our favorite coffee shop, Noon, you'll find the magical wonderland that is the Source and Tradition Gallery & Studio. Stop in to marvel at the glorious handmade ceramics and paintings by husband and wife duo, Shayne and Alexandra. If you're lucky, you'll see Al in her colorful clogs and hand printed aprons making bowls and plates and platters (oh my!) of all sizes and colors.
Candy Cabana
The sweetest of shops! Come to Candy Cabana for old school candy cigarettes and other fun treats. Located inside Burke's market.
Bay Head Needlepoint
Stop into Bay Head needlepoint to fall in love with this trendy grandmillennial craft! Owned and operated by the bride's godmother, Aunt Nancy!
Charlie's of Bay Head
Charlie's is a beautiful waterfront fine dining restaurant in Bay Head. Please note, this place is fantastic and therefore books quickly... we recommend making a reservation 2 weeks or so in advance if possible.
Bay Head Cheese Shop & Bottles Too
If you've ever been to a party at Nancy's family's house, you'll likely have overindulged in a wide variety of incredible, homemade cheese based dips from the Bay Head Cheese Shop. A tiny little shop for all things cheese, crackers, wine, and accoutrement, The Bay Head Cheese Shop is a true delight!
Playa Bowls
For a more casual dining option - acai bowls, poke bowls, etc., pop into Playa Bowls!
Mueller's Bakery
Since 1890 Mueller's has evolved as far as modern baking is concerned, while holding tight to the old-fashioned appeal of yesteryear. The signature product of Mueller's has to be the crumb cake. The original formula is still used and hoards of people come from near and far to get Mueller's crumb. It is shipped all over the world for those who have to have it!
Dune Grass Café
Dune Grass Café is an iconic Bay Head ice cream parlor / breakfast joint / luncheonette with a killer omelet, home made ice cream, and sinful burger melt. Now open for dinner as well! No reservation required.
Jenkinson's Boardwalk
Jenkinson’s Boardwalk offers a wide range of fun and exciting activities! Visit their aquarium, arcades, merry-go-round, fun house, and Sweet Shop!
Martell's Tiki Bar
Martell's is a super fun beachside Tiki bar located on Jenkinson's Boardwalk! They open every day at 11am and offer a fun option for a lunch/beach combo!
