There is a lot to love about the Jersey Shore – all of the beaches are top-notch. However, if your favorite pastime at the seashore is collecting as opposed to swimming, we have just the recommendation for you: Bay Head Beach. This quieter beach is home to so much sea glass — an increasing rarity in New Jersey.

Bay Head Beach is one of the loveliest beaches in New Jersey — and it's not nearly as crowded or hectic as other Jersey Shore beaches.

It's located about 70 miles from both Philadelphia and New York City, so you have a mix of residents and out-of-state visitors.
Bay Head Beach is obviously beautiful with a lot going for it, but one of the best parts about it is how good it is for sea glass hunting!
