Sunny Beach House Getaway: 8 Houses to the Beach – Sand, Surf, & Delicious Eats!

Normandy Beach, NJ, is a charming and picturesque coastal community nestled along the Barnegat Bay. Known for its serene atmosphere and beautiful, family-friendly beaches, it’s the ideal spot for a relaxing getaway. The area boasts clean, sandy shores and gentle waves, perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and building sandcastles.

Beyond the beach, Normandy Beach offers a quaint and welcoming vibe with its tree-lined streets and well-kept homes. Local shops, casual dining spots, and friendly eateries provide a taste of the community’s laid-back lifestyle. The town’s low-key, residential feel makes it a great place to unwind, whether you’re strolling along the waterfront or exploring nearby parks.

For those seeking a bit more excitement, nearby Seaside Heights and Point Pleasant are just a short drive away, offering lively boardwalks, amusements, and a variety of entertainment options. Normandy Beach is the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience, making it an ideal destination for a peaceful seaside retreat.

One of the best things about this spot is its unbeatable location. Just a short walk away from the sandy shores of Normandy Beach, it’s incredibly easy for me to enjoy a day of sunbathing, swimming, or simply taking a leisurely stroll along the coast. Not to mention the parking on our lot is ample. I also love that everything I need is within walking distance—there are local shops (i.e., The Dancing Crab, La Sola's Market), charming eateries (i.e., Pattie's Kitchen, Crabby Ricks, Goldfinger's Ice Cream, Kaboodles Ice Cream, Barrier Island Burgers, Blue Sushi, etc.,), and cozy cafes (i.e., The Underground Cafe, Sea Greens Cafe) just steps from the house. For a bit of extra excitement, Seaside Heights and Point Pleasant’s boardwalks are only a quick drive away, offering a fun change of pace.

Inside the house, I’ve made sure it’s as comfortable and stylish as possible. The inviting bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, and spacious living area create the perfect environment for relaxation after a day of beach fun. One of my favorite spots is the fenced in yard, where I can enjoy a morning coffee or unwind with a cocktail while taking in the beautiful coastal views.

The beach house is also fantastic for families. The nearby beach and bay is perfect for kids, and the laid-back atmosphere of Normandy Beach makes it easy to relax and enjoy quality time together. With all the comforts of home, staying here feels incredibly welcoming and convenient, allowing me to fully embrace the charm of Normandy Beach.
