Barnegat Bay is a shallow body of clean water with most areas waist deep. Glassy flat water behind an island and peninsulas for jibing, with huge ramps breaking on a sandbar for expert bump and jump. Kitsurfers use the far North point. Watch for hidden objects in the water.
This is not a kitesurfing launch area but is a downwind rescue spot for beginners and if the wind shuts down. Do not launch your kite in the park. Please launch less then 1 miles south at James St.
