Welcome To Bay Head

Small-Town Living

Bay Head is part of a coastal borough in Ocean County, New Jersey. Situated on the Barnegat Peninsula, Bay Head homes for sale are considered part of the Jersey Shore's 'Gold Coast'. It's the perfect quaint, quiet community by the sea where buyers who tour the area will find plenty of waterfront and luxury homes on the market. In addition, the Bay Head housing market is a great place to rent a home and enjoy a relaxing vacation by the Atlantic ocean. There are several great beaches along the Jersey Shore Gold Coast.

With a housing market described as 'casual and elegant', homes for sale in the quintessential sleepy seaside town of Bay Head in Ocean County are sure to please any buyer. Totaling one square mile, this borough is 70 miles south of New York City, 65 miles east of Philadelphia, and 60 miles north of neighboring Atlantic City.
