Beach walks / Jetty Walks
Take a beach walk, walk the path through the dunes that the beach tram follows (this path stretches from 3rd to 15th), walk along the jetty that stretches out from Barnegat Lighthouse, watch the sunset from the Bay Beach (25th Street and Bayview Avenue), or at the Gazebo, located on the bay at the end of 8th Street and Bayview Avenue. Get out and enjoy the beauty that is Barnegat Light.

Bicycling and E-Bikes: Bicycling on LBI remains a great way to get around - no matter your age or ability. And now, E-Bikes have entered the equation. Unfortunately the level of traffic on the island has increased as well so taking a moment to remind yourself of the rules that govern bicycles and E-bikes will go a long way towards your safety and the safety of others.  

Concerts
Every Monday evening throughout the summer, the Borough sponsors concerts at the Bay Breeze Park Pavilion on Bayview Avenue between 6th and 7th Streets. Bring your blankets, chairs, and refreshment and sit outside while enjoying the music from local bands. The band schedule gets posted sometime in June.

Dog Park
The Dog Park is located between 9th and 10th street between Central and Bay View Avenue. Anyone utilizing the park must obtain and complete a "Paw Pass Application Form". Passes are free to Barnegat Light residents. Applications for the passes can be obtained at Borough Hall, the Beach Badge Booth (in season) or on the Borough website (Important Forms). Proof of rabies must be shown, either with a rabies certificate or a current dog license. There are a few simple rules that we ask you to follow when using the park; all dogs must be leashed when entering and leaving the park, you must clean up after your dog, and please, no hole digging. Also, all dogs must be accompanied by an adult, friendly & non-aggressive.
