Beach Haven Beach Conditions & Surf Report

Beach Haven is a historic resort town toward the southern end of Long Beach Island in Ocean County, known for its Victorian architecture, a family amusement park, and a lively summer scene alongside a wide Atlantic beach. It's one of LBI's busiest and most visitor-friendly communities. Swimming centers on the summer with guarded beaches. Water temperature follows the open Atlantic — cool and bracing in the 60s°F in June, warming through July into the low-to-mid 70s°F by August and early September, then cooling through the fall. The beach faces open ocean, so surf and rip currents change with the weather — the live conditions and safety flag above are worth checking first.
