This Manahawkin Spot Is One Of NJ's Best For Outdoor Dining

MANAHAWKIN, NJ — It's no surprise that living at the Jersey Shore gives you tons of options for great restaurants with equally great views. And The Boatyard in Manahawkin made Best in NJ's 2022 list for best outdoor dining restaurants.

While the website says it might be cheating to list The Boatyard since it's literally a boatyard with food trucks, it still is a great choice for beautiful bay views. It has casual food, with one food truck serving seafood and the other serving American classics. And you can enjoy Manahawkin Bay views - as well as plenty of boats, of course.

Best of NJ said they like The Boatyard because "Events here range from boat parties and educational conservation efforts to vendor shopping pop ups."

When this spot reopens for the season, you won't want to miss sitting here and sipping a drink while staring out at the ocean.
