View Toms River Guide →About Toms River
Toms River is Ocean County's largest municipality and its cultural and commercial center—the town that supplies the barrier island beaches with everything from groceries to concerts. It's not directly on the ocean, but the Toms River flows into Barnegat Bay minutes from downtown, and the barrier island beaches at Seaside Heights and Ortley Beach are 20 minutes east. The downtown has changed significantly in recent years: antique shops and boutiques have moved in alongside outdoor bistros, and the arts scene around the Grunin Center brings programming that the smaller shore towns can't sustain. The waterfront along the river offers dining with water views and the River Lady paddle wheeler, a genuine local institution. Cattus Island County Park adds 500+ acres of bayfront trails within the township limits. Toms River's location on Barnegat Bay makes it a hub for bay fishing, kayaking, and crabbing. The Toms River flows directly into Barnegat Bay, offering excellent access for boaters and anglers. Cattus Island's calm waters are perfect for kayaking through salt marshes and spotting shorebirds, while the bay provides some of the best crabbing on the Jersey Shore. Several marinas offer boat rentals, fishing charters, and kayak launches for exploring the bay. For families, Toms River is home to Insectropolis (the Bugseum of New Jersey), the Robert J. Novins Planetarium at Ocean County College, and the Grunin Center for the Arts. The town hosts year-round events including the Downtown Farmers Market, Cruisin' Downtown car shows, and Shakespeare in the Park.
