Bay Head Beaches

 

    The big decision when visiting the Jersey Shore, is which of the many beaches your family will enjoy.  I have purchased passes for different beaches over the years, and beach hopped some summers.  The answer to the question, “Which is the best Jersey Shore beach to visit?’. This depends on the needs and expectations of a family trip to the beach.  

     This is one of those years where the weather hasn’t been in our favor, and the last thing on our minds was choosing a beach for the summer with having  four days of sunshine in June.  In recent days, when the weather is right, our family hits the beaches in Bay Head.  There is no boardwalk, so access is easy on and off, and without the food, games and entertainment, it tends to be less crowded.

     Badges for any of the beaches in Bay Head are as follows(June 20th through Labor Day): 

$6 Daily Adults 12 and up

Free Children under 12

$65 Season Badge 12 and up

*Lifeguards are on duty from 10 am to 5:25 pm daily

     Badges can be purchased in town at the Bay Head Improvement Association(B.H.I.A) building, located on the corner of Lake Avenue and Mount Street.  Beaches are surrounded by quiet residential neighborhoods.  There are no public restrooms and food is not allowed with the exception of water(keeping  it very clean).  It is a short walk into town from any beach access point, where visitors can grab a quick bite or sit down for a meal and enjoy the shops in the business district.  For our family, it’s just a nice day at the beach.
