It is a private beach to our community and a badge will be required and will be provided to you and your guests ( This is a $90 fee that I have already included in your rental cost). 8 badges will be available to you during your stay. Depending on which week you are here, there may even be some family festivities planned by our community. The bay beach is a great way to spend the early morning and evening hours with the children or when the beach is a little too cold- it may be just right at the bay. We have swings, a jungle gym, and places to explore looking for fish and crabs. Bike riding the Bay Blvd in Lavallette and the ocean boardwalk before 10am is also a great activity. We have some local restaurants, bakeries, surf shops, and ice cream palors all within walking distance. You can also take a quick bike or car ride into Lavallette to explore even more. Other attractions and areas that you can enjoy by a 10-15 min car ride is the Point Pleasant Boardwalk and Rides, Jenkinsons Aquarium, Chadwick Miniature Golf, Seaside Boardwalk and Rides, Breakwater Beach Water Park, Barnacle Bills Arcade, and Island Beach State Park.
