This seaside barrier island (home to Ocean Beach, Chadwick Beach, Ortley Beach, Lavallette, Normandy Beach and Seaside Heights) is perfect for those who love both the beauty of the ocean and the peacefulness of the bay, since you can easily walk from the ocean to the bay from almost any house on this “island.” Jammed with local hot spots – bakeries, ice cream shops, surf shops, delis, beach stores, boardwalk rides and arcades - there's something for everyone in this coastal community.
