Manahawkin is a residential community located in Stafford Township (Ocean County) on the Atlantic Coast in central New Jersey. Founded in 1749, Manahawkin is one of southern Ocean County's fastest growing communities. This town of around 2,000 has undergone many changes over the years, but retains its appealing small town charm. Many young professionals and retirees from New York, Philadelphia and northern New Jersey are discovering Manahawkin and making it their home. Much of the land surrounding the community is protected and includes state parks, forests and wildlife management areas. Also, a causeway connects Manahawkin to Long Beach Island, an 18-mile long barrier island that has been a family vacation destination for many years. Long Beach Island offers many attractions, from the Barnegat Lighthouse and State Park on the northern tip of the island to the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge on the southern end. Miles of spectacular beaches in the Manahawkin area offer a myriad of activities, such as swimming, sunning, claming, fishing, boating, surfing and other water sports. The community of Beach Haven is the busiest area on Long Beach Island and offers many shops, restaurants, art galleries and nightclubs, and is also where you'll find the island's only amusement park and water slide. In addition to all of this, the Atlantic City Boardwalk and casinos are just a short 35-minute drive south of Manahawkin.

Manahawkin Weather & Climate

East-central New Jersey , along the coast, has a humid subtropical climate with maritime influences. Continental and oceanic influences battle for dominance in the weather patterns on a daily to weekly bases. The coastal zone generally has warmer temperatures than the interior regions in winter. Sea breezes play a major role in the climate, and offer a cooling effect on hot summer days. Coastal storms, often characterized as nor'easters, are most frequent between October and April. These storms bring strong winds and heavy rains. Rarely does a winter go by without at least one significant coastal storm. Tropical storms and hurricanes are also a special concern along the coast, although plenty of warning is given for these types of storms.
