Barnegat Bay At Twilight
Few things are as beautiful as a Barnegat Bay sunset. The ribbons of color racing across the sky are reflected in the rippling water.
No place allows you to bear witness to this sight better than a seat on Ocean County Park’s Bay Cruiser II. As day surrenders to night, darkness allows for a new perspective on the shoreline and sky.
Please join the fun for a relaxed cruise along the shores of Cattus Island. A naturalist will be on board to answer questions and interpret the sights and sounds of twilight.

“Early Bird” Ornithology
Barnegat Bay supports one of the largest and most diverse breeding colonies of birds in the state. Our boat will get you as close as ecologically possible to tidal marsh islands where osprey, gulls, terns, herons, and egrets nest. Join us as we observe the acrobatic maneuvers of Ospreys as they catch their food and hear the rapid calls of Belted Kingfishers while in flight.
