Discover Seaside Heights

Seaside Heights combines a public boardwalk with a variety of leisure activities. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay in town, you can organize your plans around the things that matter to you: the beach and surfing areas, rides, mini golf, or the wave pool. The location details below will help you distinguish between these highlights.

Beach, Boardwalk, and Surfing Areas

The public boardwalk runs along the entire oceanfront of the Borough of Seaside Heights. Seaside Heights Beach stretches between Hiering Avenue and Dupont Avenue. This gives you two distinct reference points: the boardwalk runs along the borough’s coastline, while the two streets mark the extent of the beach. When planning your time by the sea, you can consider the beach area and the course of the boardwalk separately.

The designated surfing beaches are at Hiering Avenue and Grant Avenue when lifeguards are on duty during regular beach operating hours. This condition is part of your planning. If surfing is important to you, check the current operating hours and lifeguard service before visiting the beach.

Rides and Getting Around

Pirate's Hideaway is a pirate-themed roller coaster. The Sky Ride takes passengers high above the beach and boardwalk of Seaside Heights. From there, views extend across the Atlantic Ocean, Barnegat Bay, Seaside Heights, and the boardwalk’s stalls and shops. The two rides offer different highlights: Pirate's Hideaway centers on its pirate theme, while the Sky Ride offers an elevated perspective and views of several named destinations. You can choose between them based on what appeals to you more: the roller coaster’s theme or the view from above.

The go-karts are located at the corner of Grant Avenue and Ocean Terrace. This specific intersection gives you another point of reference when planning around the leisure activities. Ride operating status and restrictions may change; check the operator’s current information before your visit.

Mini Golf and Wave Pool

Smuggler's Quay Adventure Golf Course has two 18-hole courses: the Privateer Course and the Buccaneer Course. Wacky Rooftop Golf is an 18-hole mini golf course that is also easy for children to play. At Smuggler's Quay, you can choose between two named courses; at Wacky Rooftop Golf, the 18-hole format and how easy it is for children to play are both useful points of reference. If you are traveling with children, you can take this information into account when making your choice.

The wave pool at Breakwater Beach is approximately 5,860 square feet. This approximate area adds a sense of the pool’s size to the descriptions of the rides and games.

A Historical Connection to the Boardwalk

The Seaside Heights boardwalk was built in stages and completed in 1921. Its construction history is another point of reference in town: the boardwalk was built in several stages, and 1921 marks its completion. If, in addition to the beach and leisure activities, you are looking for a historical connection to the coast during your stay, this development offers a specific point of interest.
