Seaside Heights Things To Do

Fall & Winter Activities in Seaside Heights

Even if it is not summer, Seaside Heights is still the place to go for a day at the shore.

Here are some suggestions for the coming months:

  • Hang out at the beach. Sitting on the beach and enjoying the ocean and beachcombing are free, though swimming is not allowed without lifeguards present.

  • Had a stressful day? Stroll The Classic American Boardwalk or the beach. Take a break from work or whatever routine you are in and grab a bite to eat at the Boardwalk and Boulevard eateries that remain open.

  • Enjoy a sunrise from the ocean beach or a sunset from our southern bayfront. Grab a cup of coffee and some light food to add to the enjoyment.

  • Casino Pier Casino Arcade is open Fridays through Sundays through the spring!

  • Have a nice lunch or dinner at one of the outstanding, popular restaurants or pizza places. There are some open daily and others weekends.

  • Do a weekend date night that includes one of our great restaurants, fun in one of our arcades, and/or music at one of their bars and clubs that provide live entertainment.

  • Rainy days are perfect days for enjoying our arcades. Some have delightful food offerings attached to them.

  • Make Seaside Heights part of any visit to Island Beach State Park. The park is only about 10 minutes south of Seaside Heights and contains great hiking trails, kayaking in the sedges by Barnegat Inlet, bicycling, fishing, and seasonal bird and butterfly watching.

  • Shop. Some of the Boardwalk stores are open most days year-round and many more on weekends. Get great gifts or shore-themed clothes and décor for yourself. Check business web sites for current hours of operation.

  • Do a business lunch at one of their outstanding restaurants and then take a stroll on the Boardwalk with your associates.

  • Special events are part of the Seaside Heights scene year-round. Check the events page for the latest event information.

  • Go fly a kite!Autumn winds around the ocean can make for some great kite flying and kites are allowed on Seaside Heights beaches when bathers are not present.

  • Enjoy watersports such as kayaking or canoeing from bayfront beaches. The northern beach is fairly protected and the southern beach opens to the Barnegat Bay

  • Bicycle up or down the barrier peninsula making Seaside Heights your starting point. There is plenty of free parking, you can ride the boardwalk, have a nice meal, and visit intriguing neighboring towns.

  • Enjoy photography with so many creative settings to explore.
