Restaurants in Surf City
1. Ship Bottom Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 116 reviews
Reviewed By SO194 - Sparta, New Jersey
The beach is clean and well maintained. Every day we saw the garbage men and the sand sweeper come by in the early morning hours to get the beach ready for the day.
There are no bathroom facilities where we were on 17th Street but our place we were staying at was only a few blocks away so it wasn't so bad.
The water was clear and the waves all depend on the weather but we lucked out with great beach weather.
If you are looking for a family oriented beach it's a good option for you and you won't be disappointed.
2. Barnegat Lighthouse State Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 439 reviews
On the northern tip of Long Beach Island, this park includes a maritime forest, lighthouse, and access to great birding and fishing sites.
Reviewed By Trixie1953 - Huntingdon Valley, PA
First time visiting and we enjoyed the whole area. The lighthouse is well maintained and has a awesome view at the time. There are several landings with information about the lighthouse and also to catch your breath along the way. There is a nice walkway along the shore, very peaceful. Lots of picnic areas around to eat or just to sit and take in the scenery.
3. Museum of NJ Maritime History

Reviewed By rollinspam - New York City, New York
This place is run by old volunteer nursing home ladies who hate kids. Signs saying kids running loose will be kicked out and old ladies screaming at kids isn't a good time. What kind of crap museum isn't made for kids? The exhibits were small and uninteresting. Waste of space and should be shut down immediately. Not worth the gas going there.
4. Super Fly NJ
Overall Ratings
5 based on 6 reviews
Flyboarding is the newest phenomenon in Barnegat Bay! Brittany likes to say it's like a wakeboard with a firehose coming out of the bottom that propels you into the air. The propulsion of water is coming from the jet-ski. The height of the flyboarder is controlled by the trained jet-ski instructor. Flyboarding is very easy to learn for people of many ages. You will be up in the air in minutes

Reviewed By KeGillett - New York
I must state that I only gave this an average rating, but we were also only passing through so I do not know if I can provide a full review of the area. We did like the shops and purchased a couple of items. The day we arrived it was cloudy and early in the morning. We stopped on our way to the lighthouse. The shops were unique and the owners were friendly.

Have stopped at a number of the Ron Jon locations in other state, but this is the ORIGINAL. Great selection of surf clothing for kids and adults, surf-related home décor, surf accessories. 3 floors to explore. Great friendly staff.

We were visiting from out of town, and bought a multi-class package. Single classes are $20, but a five pack brings it to $16.
Very nice people, pretty organized. They do take credit cards.
We did one of the weekend classes out on the beach. Fun! You do it on a towel facing the morning surf., starting at 8am. It has a nice pace and you get in a bit of meditation and stretching. You might to have sunscreen, as it got pretty hot the morning we attended. Still, an excellent experience.
We also did one of the vinyasa classes in the studio. It is a smallish space, but fits at least 12. I would suggest that you do NOT choose the front row--in the morning the sun pours in and the AC was a bit sluggish during our class. It was again a well organized class.
We will definitely go back! They also have a stand up paddling class we would like to try.
