Welcome to Bay Head!
We are so excited for you to explore and enjoy such a special place with us!
Activities
A Day at the Beach!
Beach badges are required to get on the beach. Most hotels and Air B and B’s provide badges and some provide chairs /umbrellas. Day badges are also available for purchase at the BHIA. If you are planning to go to the beach, we recommend entering on Bridge Avenue or Mount Street.
Shop Around Town
Bay Head is a small, easily walkable / bikeable town with lots of local shops.
Tennis / Pickleball / Walk
There are public tennis / pickleball courts in Bay Head located behind the firehouse.
We also love going for a morning walk or run on East Avenue or Barnegat Ave.

Jenkinson’s boardwalk is a 5-10 minute drive from Bay Head with lots of fun games, rides, and bars.
