Bay Head Beach is one of those relaxing Jersey Shore beaches located in Bay Head, a quaint country village by the sea. The sand is soft and pristine & this beach is long renown for its abundant sea glass.
Mantoloking offers fantastic natural beaches with beautiful organically developed sand bars, super fun surf breaks, and loads of migrating sea life. The perfect place for a relaxing enjoyable beach day free from the crowds and distractions of neighboring areas for those who genuinely love the beauty of these natural beaches.
Most of the streets that lead to the ocean end at an entrance to Lavallette's mile long boardwalk (a non-commercial walkway). Entry to the beach is via walkways off of the boardwalk, in breaks in the dunes that are at the back of the beach. The beach access points are also convenient places for the town to station their badge checkers, which are present whenever the lifeguards are on duty.
The beach is famous for its soft white sand and has received numerous awards and accolades over the years including being voted the 2016 New Jersey Sea Grant Consortium "Favorite Ocean County Beach." Seaside Heights provides seasonal lifeguard services between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day. The public may enter the ocean and swim at protected areas only when lifeguards are present
