Why Beach Haven & Bayview Park Make It Easy
Beach Haven is widely considered Long Beach Island’s best playground for beginner surfers. Thanks to its sandbars creating gentle, forgiving waves, it’s the perfect place to catch your first ride without getting overpowered by the ocean. Plus, you don’t even need to pack heavy: local surf shops line the area, making high-quality surfboard and paddleboard rentals incredibly convenient to grab on your way to the water.
When you aren’t catching waves on the ocean side, Bayview Park serves as your ultimate hassle-free base camp.
- All-in-One Amenities: The park features a bay beach, changing rooms, restrooms, showers, a food truck, and ample free parking on-site—giving you everything you need for the day in one spot.
- The Perfect Training Ground: The calm, protected bay water is ideal for finding your balance on a board or taking out a paddleboard with zero ocean conditions to manage.
- A Growing Community: Paddling and board sports just keep growing, with nearly 30 million Americans hitting the water in 2024 (Outdoor Industry Association).
Tip: Because Beach Haven is such a premier spot for summer rentals and lessons, advance booking for surfboards and paddleboards is strongly recommended during peak summer weeks!
