Bay Head balances oceanside serenity with everyday convenience, offering ocean-to-bay living on the northern Barnegat Peninsula in Ocean County. Strollable streets, cedar-shake architecture, and Twilight Lake form a distinctive coastal setting, while the terminus of the North Jersey Coast Line at the NJ TRANSIT Bay Head Station keeps regional commutes practical. Minutes away, boardwalk fun in Point Pleasant Beach and the quiet shoreline of Mantoloking expand your weekend options, with broader shopping and services just across the bay in Brick. Sailing and paddling thrive here, anchored by the storied Bay Head Yacht Club, while nearby Mantoloking Bridge County Park opens the door to fishing, crabbing, and sunset bay views.
Families value the strong neighborhood school community at Bay Head School (K–8), with high schoolers attending Point Pleasant Beach High School through a long-standing relationship. Pride in place runs deep: the Bay Head Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, showcases the town’s turn-of-the-century seaside architecture and heritage through the Bay Head Historic District. Local information, beach badge details, and seasonal updates are easy to find via the Borough of Bay Head website.
