Rockn Joe Point Pleasant Beach

I just visited the new cafe Rockn’ Joes on the Bay Head/Point Pleasant Beach border. Great spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner and 10 minute walking distance from The Bay Head House.  The owner, Dave Terra Nova, is a native of the area and has established a casual and very cool atmosphere with great music, healthy & fresh menu and great coffee.

A whale washed ashore dead today on Osbourne Avenue Beach in Bay Head thought to be either a Fin or Minke Whale. It had been dead for some time. Biologists were not able to diagnose the cause of death due to severe decomposition.

An overnight snow blanketed the Jersey Shore. The morning sun made for some magnificent photo opportunities in Bay Head. Included is a small collection of photos from Bay Head Beach, Scow Ditch and Twilight Lake.

Hundreds of visitors and residents came into town for the annual Christmas celebration last weekend. Events included Breakfast with Santa at the firehouse, tree lighting, Christmas concert with Father Alphonse, Trolley Rides with Santa and more.
