Brick Township

Family-Friendly Bay Beaches

Brick Township offers a unique Shore experience with its calm bay beaches on Barnegat Bay instead of the Atlantic Ocean. The township's three public beaches - Brick Beach I, II, and III - provide gentle waters perfect for young children and swimmers who prefer calmer conditions. Seniors 65+ enjoy free beach access.

Beyond the beaches, Brick boasts an impressive park system. Windward Beach Park on the Metedeconk River features a sandy beach, swimming area, playground (open until 9pm), and dog-friendly section. The Brick Reservoir, once a water source for historic ironworks, offers a scenic 1.6-mile jogging path popular with walkers, joggers, and dog owners.

For family fun, Jersey Shore Pirates offers pirate ship adventures that delight kids of all ages. Traders Cove, a transformed former marina, provides public docks, green spaces, and scenic bay views while celebrating Brick's maritime heritage.
