Nestled between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, Stone Harbor is perfectly placed to offer visitors a wonderful sea-side vacation. The town is located on a 7-mile barrier island and is surrounded by wonderful beaches, the ocean and the calm waters of the Intracoastal Waterway. Here you will find just about every kind of water sports you can imagine, from boating and sport-fishing on the Atlantic Ocean to paddling and kayaking through the tidal waterways and bird watching in the wetlands. The Wetlands Institute is a great place to learn all about your surroundings and the importance of protecting the wetlands and waterways for future generations. CDC information for travelers. Hours/availability may have changed.

1.Seven Mile Beach

Seven Mile Beach is actually more than a regular beach, it is a 7 mile-long barrier island located off the mainland of New Jersey, between Stone Harbor and Avalon. The island is separated from the mainland by salt marshes and tidal channels which are home to numerous sea birds, so birding enthusiasts will have a great time here. The wide sandy beach and gently rolling waves are great for visitors of all ages and there are lifeguards on duty. If you would like to try some water sports you can make your way to Island Watersports or Harbor Outfitters for rentals, lessons and hours of fun.

Family owned and operated since 1953, Mack’s Pizza is a New Jersey legend. The first store opened on the boardwalk in Wildwood, followed by the Ocean City store and finally the Stone Harbor Mack’s opened in 1987. The pizzas are still all lovingly made in the old-fashioned way, hand spun and baked to perfections. Many of the pizzas are named after local landmarks like the old Tram, The Boardwalk and the Golden Nugget roller coaster which thrilled thousands back in the day. The original “tomato pie” is still on the menu but now shares space with other delicious taste combinations.
