One of the loveliest shore towns is Lavallette, New Jersey, located on the Barnegat Peninsula that separates Barnegat Bay from the Atlantic Ocean in the central seashore region of New Jersey, and home to another of the boardwalks that grace the New Jersey shoreline. Lavallette has great beauty in all directions – on the bay as well as on the ocean, and its non-commercial boardwalk stretches for 28 blocks. It is ideal for walkers, whether they’re “power” or simply strollers. With eight protected ocean beaches perfect for swimming, and beaches designated for surfing and surf fishing, Lavallette also has two beaches on Barnegat Bay that offer calmer bay waters for swimmers. Lavallette is also home to a waterfront park that’s ideal for family picnics. It also features two piers perfect for fishing and crabbing, and two launch ramps for boats, and the beaches have lifeguards. Because of strategically located sandbars off the Atlantic shore, it’s also a good spot for surfers. Another great spot is the picturesque gazebo on the bay - the best place to watch the setting sun. Angling at it's best here!!!
