Bay Head is one of the Jersey Shore's most exclusive communities, a small borough of Victorian homes and pristine beaches that has maintained its quiet, upscale character for over a century. Located at the northern tip of the Barnegat Peninsula, Bay Head offers a refined beach experience.
The town has no boardwalk and minimal commercial development, which is exactly how residents like it. The main attraction is the beach itself—wide, clean, and relatively uncrowded compared to neighboring towns. The small downtown along Main Street offers a handful of shops and restaurants.
Bay Head is the last stop on the NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line, making it accessible by train from New York City, though most visitors arrive by car to this family-oriented community.
