Comments:

This launch area is on the south side of the Toms River, Bayville, about 3/4 of the way out. It is a good location to do a trip west into the Main Street area of Toms River downtown and view beaches, houses and scenery or to go from here and head East out to the bay. The Route 37 bridges are fairly close by from here.
