An Island Vacation on the Ocean and Bay!
Greetings from Barnegat Light, NJ!
Barnegat Light, New Jersey, is where families return year after year, generation after generation, for a summer island interlude amid beach a dunes, ocean, and bay. For the first time visitor, the spell of this Jersey shore town entices one to find and rent one's own summer place and to begin one's own Barnegat Light vacation tradition.
On the northernmost tip of Long Beach Island, Barnegat Light homeowners are proud of their famous lighthouse, Old Barney, which is a beacon to boats and a destination for tourists with its museum and sandy trails. Vacationers who make the climb up the lighthouse's narrow staircase are rewarded with a spectacular view of all the beach towns of Long Beach Island and an endless water view of the ocean and the bay.
Barnegat Light offers a classic Jersey shore vacation experience of ocean and bay explorations. Children wade and search for sea creatures on Barnegat's rocky jetties and bay. The beach is a wild and natural backyard to beautiful historic beach houses, some for rent.
Many vacationers to Barnegat Light never leave this end of the island it's time to go home. Everything is here : a Farmers Market, shopping village, home-grown restaurants, and churches. They are all a short walk or bicycle ride away. It seems everyone here rides a bike. While there is a bicycle and video rental shop in Barnegat Light and good seafood restaurants, mother nature provides almost all the entertainment for this island vacation.
