We stopped by this cafe for breakfast after church on Sunday, and it did not disappoint. First thing you should know - the cafe is located upstairs from the bait and tackle shop. On the first level, there is a little counter with about four seats that you can use to eat (as well as picnic tables outside), but upstairs they have a little seating area with spectacular views of the bay. There are only about nine tables, so the place is not very big. We waited a few minutes for a table to be cleared off, which we didn't mind. They serve breakfast all day and the menu is quite solid, especially for being a little roadside eatery that's attached to a dock. It was also pleasantly surprising to see that they had specials for the day, too! The food was hot, tasty, and reasonably priced. All of the staff were super friendly, too! Not to mention...we were able to enjoy brunch overlooking the gorgeous Barnegat Bay. What more can you ask for? We'll definitely be returning here for more!

The marina section is great. Can't comment on the boat slips but the pier and bulkhead offer great locations to crab and fish. There is a public bathroom which is very clean.

The view of the bay is great and it's a nice place to spend the day fishing or crabbing.

Your GPS will take you to the area and you'll see a restaurant, motel, lodgings, drive on circles... And probably stop to call for guidance. The office is the small blue building seen in my picture. There are really no signs anywhere. Plenty of parking though. I rented a Carolina Skiff, which is a 16' boat, ideal for crabbing or simple fishing in the area. It's a great value at $160 for 4 hours. Just realize that this won't be luxurious. It's more functional. The staff were helpful in getting us going. I have a boating license so we signed a couple papers and were on the water in no time. The skiff was supposed to have a bimini top, but it didn't. The guy who helped see us off told us it was ripped and they had no others. That was a disappointment as we'd bake under the sun without it. Anyway, we lasted a few hours on the water and the girl working in the office provided me with a partial refund to account for the missing Bimini. That earned them 5 stars here. You are required to keep the boat nearby and that's a challenge for fishing as the bay is quite shallow almost everywhere, except in the channel... And we can't parking a boat of this size in the middle of the channel. If you really wanna go out fishing, I suggest a charter boat. This skiff though would be great for a crabbing adventure.

We had the best time ever! The crew was so friendly and helpful. Everything was explained to us on how to operate the pontoon prior to jetting off. We felt very safe and secure after the instructions. They helped us load our items on and off the boat and even took a golf cart to drive our heavy items (coolers and beach bags) from the parking lot to the dock. Fun fact: There is no boating license required to drive a pontoon boat! You just need a regular drivers license and I believe all boat operators must be 25 and older. We set sail on our 8 hour excursion and sailed along the beautiful Barnegat Bay, soaking up the sun, smelling the saltwater, and taking in the gorgeous views of the Jersey coast. I recommend coming prepared with lots of food, snacks and drinks to keep the vibes going all day! The company even provided us with a Bluetooth speaker so we were able to blast our own music. Our original plan was to sail to Tices Shoal, which is where people anchor their boats, jump into the water, and party all day. They have floating food vendors there too. But there were so many jellyfish in the water this day, so we found our own little private cove without any jellyfish where we could jump out and swim and work on our tans. We even anchored down for a bit to explore this little shore which had a whole marsh behind it. It was fun finding little creatures and cool rocks and shells (all while respecting nature of course). If you're seeing this, this is your sign to book a pontoon boat with your family and friends and have the best summer day ever. We got very lucky with the weather and feeling so carefree on the pontoon was such a nice feeling. Don't miss this one of a kind Jersey shore experience!
