City advice
Customs and culture
Beach badges required in the summer
Beach Badges are required on all Barnegat Light beaches for all beach patrons 12 years-old and over. For instructions on how to obtain a Beach Badge, visit the Borough of Barnegat Light's website.
Getting around
Flip flops and cars
Our rentals are literally steps from the beach! If you've never visited the island, it's long and narrow, and you'll need a car to get to most attractions. Bike rentals are available in Harvey Cedars.
What to pack
Beach towels
We provide boogie boards and some beach toys but encourage guests to bring their own beach towels (since ours always end of disappearing!)
