Discover Brick: River Beach, Golf and Museum

Brick offers several ways to shape a stay around your own interests: Windward Beach Park has a sandy beach on the Metedeconk River, the Ocean County Golf Course at Forge Pond puts the fairways center stage, and the Havens Homestead Museum offers a glimpse of an original building section dating to 1827. At Traders Cove Marina, you can access motorized water recreation directly. These different attractions can help guide you as you consider what experiences you want to accompany your search for a vacation rental in Brick.

Riverside and Activities at Windward Beach Park

Windward Beach Park has a sandy beach on the Metedeconk River, a playground, picnic areas and a large fishing pier. The beach focuses on the river, while the playground and picnic areas offer additional ways to spend time in the park. The fishing pier appeals to guests who want to include fishing in their stay. You can shape your visit around whichever of these activities appeals to you most.

Water Sports and Golf as Distinct Attractions

Traders Cove Marina offers direct access to motorized water recreation. This sets it apart from Windward Beach Park, whose described amenities include a beach, playground, picnic areas and fishing pier. If you are interested in motorized water activities, the marina is a separate stop to consider when planning your stay in Brick.

The Ocean County Golf Course at Forge Pond is a par-60 executive golf course in a 300-acre nature preserve. Its fairways challenge experienced golfers and give beginners the opportunity to improve their game. This makes the course appealing to golfers of different experience levels, without implying that everyone will have the same playing experience. If you want to make golf a focus, you’ll find a clearly described course here, with a specific par and a location within the nature preserve.

Havens Homestead Museum: History and Visiting Hours

The Havens Homestead Museum is located at 521 Herbertsville Rd. in Brick, New Jersey. The original section of the museum dates to 1827. This part of the building gives the museum visit a specific historical connection; the year refers to the original section, not to the museum as a whole. Those interested in history can consider the museum as a cultural attraction alongside outdoor activities.

The museum is open Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. from mid-April through October, during special events, and for tours by appointment. These hours are especially important for planning a visit: regular Saturday opening is limited to a specific time window, while tours take place by appointment. Opening during special events is another option. If the museum is part of your plans, use these details to plan your visit rather than assuming you can enter at any time.
