favorite ride.
Coffee in Bay Head. A beach break in Mantoloking. Boats at the inlet. Pick a little adventure, hop on a cruiser, and make a day of it.
Our local ride ideas bring together places to pause, eat, explore, and enjoy the Shore at your own pace.
A slow morning
in Bay Head
BAY HEAD & MANTOLOKING • COFFEE • TIME BY THE BAY
Start with a coffee and something sweet, wander downtown, then take the long way back past the park. For a leisurely look around Bay Head and Mantoloking boroughs, explore East Avenue, Barnegat Lane, and Bay Avenue where they connect.
Make it your own: Port Coffee or Noon, a treat at Mueller’s, then picnic provisions from Bay Head Cheese Shop or Burke’s Market.
Beach breaks
& a longer lunch
MANTOLOKING → LAVALLETTE
Make the coast your day out. Pause for the beach in Mantoloking, continue south for lunch, and finish with a stroll along the Lavallette boardwalk. This is a ride to stretch out and savor.
Build in a stop at Dune Grass Cafe at Used To Be’s, a bite at Meg’s or The Crabs Claw, and ice cream at Kaboodles on the way.
Follow the fun
to the inlet
POINT PLEASANT • BOARDWALK • BOAT WATCHING
Head north for a classic Shore outing: Hoffman’s Ice Cream (Bob Hoffman’s) at 800 Richmond Avenue, downtown shops and Last Wave Brewing at 601 Bay Avenue, then the Point Pleasant Beach side of Manasquan Inlet to watch the boats.
Make time for a seafood lunch and the boardwalk amusements. Park and walk whenever bike access is restricted.
Make a
day of it
LONGER RIDES • A LITTLE MORE ADVENTURE
Turn lunch into a destination with a ride toward Brielle and the Manasquan side of the river. Or plan a bigger coastal outing south toward Island Beach State Park, with plenty of time for the return trip.
These are outings to plan ahead. Open the biking map for distance and estimated ride time, then stop in and talk through the ride with us before setting out.
