There's no pier/boardwalk like the other beaches which in turn makes it a much more peaceful beach to visit. Theres two food spots.

The ice cream and milkshakes are good and refreshing! the breakfast sandwiches are good too. The cheeseburgers are not the best, cheap bun, meat and cheese and is not worth the $8. But all else has been good Service is nice a quick and theres picnic tables to sit and eat at in the food area as well. Theres bathrooms, dressing rooms and 2 areas of outdoor showers which is nice and convenient.

Want to pay good money to spend time with a miserable captain and first mate who clearly have tons…read moreof disdain for inexperienced fishers? Like to get treated like crap and yelled at for the most mundane things while trying to have a good time? If the answer was YES to either of these questions then this is the charter boat for you! Recent talk of a fishing trip among friends reminded me that a review needed to be written for this guy. A while back a large group of us (15) hired Captain Ralph Brewster to take us out for a day of fishing off of Long Beach Island. It was the most miserable experience I have ever had fishing. The captain and his first mate were surly as hell, had no patience with the inexperienced members of our party and frequently got belligerent with us for the most mundane things. Here's just one of many examples of what we experienced; Throughout the day we were hooking skates and I did it myself on several occasions. Since a skate is an odd shaped fish and I didn't know how you hold it when removing the hook I asked the captain if he could remove it for me (he had told us he or his first mate would remove any hooks we couldn't). I purposely gave him 5 or 6 feet of slack on the line so he could remove the hook without worry of getting jabbed. The captain yelled at me for not tightening up the line - no explanation of how much less slack I should have had. About an hour later I hooked another skate. The first mate was busy so again I asked the captain to unhook it for me. This time I purposely tightened up most of the slack from the line so there was only about 3 feet between the fish and the end of the rod. The captain yelled at me again and this time told me to loosen the line, "what are you trying to do, hook me?" he barked. This pretty much exemplifies our entire day fishing with this jerk. We couldn't do anything right and he didn't bother to explain any hows or whys so we could actually correct the things we were doing wrong. Do everyone that enjoys day fishing trips a favor and don't give this guy any business because he doesn't belong working with people. The captain is based out of Forked River, NJ but works out of Barnegat Light, NJ.

We have done the half day and full day rentals. I prefer the morning half day rental cause by noon, after a full morning crabbing, we are knackered. It's located in a great spot so you don't have far to go into the bay or down the lagoon. Best crabbing is in the lagoon imo. So take a day and rent a pontoon. Even if you don't crab, they have a pontoon a little bit more comfy for just traveling around the bay relaxing. Enjoy!

After speaking to "bob" the acclaimed owner of this marina during a week in September this year, we discussed slips for the year. He went over placement, fees, etc, as I expected. We settled on a location and price and made arrangements for me to move my boat to his marina that Saturday at noon. All Great Right ? Come Saturday I pull into the marina in my boat at the scheduled time as directed, and tie up to the fuel dock. After searching for a marina staff member I find the fuel dock worker that explains to me the main office closes for lunch at noon, and they shall return at one o'clock. OK....... So i wait, and wait, and wait.......... along with a half dozen other disgruntled current marina slip holders. Office finally reopens, after what i hope was a good lunch for them, at 2:45pm !! I wait my turn in line to speak to the marina office staff, over hearing numerous complaints from every person in line in front of me. Finally at 3:15 pm my turn comes up, after much confusion from the office staff, who have no record of me, or my prior arrangements with the owner. When inquiring on the status or phone availability of the owner the acclaimed "bob". I was told "he went fishing today" and is unavailable. thirty minutes later, with a growing line behind me, the staff member finds the entry of my boat slip in the register all set to go, but.......... she did not check the register that morning and already leased the slip to another boater. Instead of a "im sorry" or any remorse or apology, to my shock she says their might be another opening in two or three weeks........ great, but my boat is tied up at your fuel dock. So trying to put this disaster of an experience behind me, i quickly scramble to find another maria close by that can take my boat into a slip that evening...... And i do, the very nice gentleman at Long Key Yacht Club said he had a few openings and i could pick which ever i liked. He even keep the office open late that day to accommodate me. Finally I have found somebody with a head on their shoulders. At long key, better slip, better hook ups, better service, and half the price of Holiday and their disastrous customer service. I do realize that Holiday Harbor is one of the nicest maria's in the Barnegat Inlet area, with probably some of the best amenities, which comes with a higher cost. With that said I do believe this cost is much higher than reasonable, but with quality comes price, quality = price right.... answer is no. It certainly does not come with customer service, this has been made clear to me. My advice, stay away from Holiday Harbor......... Buyer Beware.........
