A historic community on New Jersey’s Gold Coast

Coastal Beach Ocean Scenic Boating Rail Service Upscale

Bay Head is a charming beach community in the heart of New Jersey’s Gold Coast. With the beach so close at hand, many residents enjoy a lifestyle that includes a healthy amount of boating, fishing, and sunbathing in the warmer months, and a fresh salt breeze washes over the community year-round. Small specialty shops and neighborhood markets keep the locals well-stocked, and eateries like Dune Grass Café and Mueller’s Bakery serve as popular hangouts. The community is famous for its historic architecture, including numerous shingled and Queen Anne-style houses in the borough’s historic district. The rental market is primarily composed of houses, including several large properties overlooking the ocean.
