Seaside Park (Bayside)
Seaside Park is a Barnegat Bay kite spot on the New Jersey shore, distinct from the borough's Atlantic-facing beaches. Local shops list it among the state's go-to bay-chop spots for intermediate-to-advanced riders, best on southwest-through-west wind, with a drift launch from the bayside parking area.
