Private pool and beach club offering boat slips, swim lessons & swim team, sailing lessons, and social events for adults and children.
Their current programs include sailing instruction (Optimist dinghies, Sunfish, Lasers and 420s) for children eight and older, swimming instruction and swim team. For our more competitive sailors, we hold a Saturday series at the Club every Saturday morning and we participate in the LBIYRA Wednesday interclub races. Our swim team competes with several other teams on the Island (Barnegat Light, Brant Beach, St. Francis and Surf City) and we have hosted the season-end LBIs for the past several years.
The Haven Beach Club is operated on the basis of our members’ volunteerism. Throughout the summer, we host many social events–for children, adults and families. Members are expected to work at least one social event per season. Our children are very active with children at other clubs on the Island– sailing, swim team and children’s socials. These activities also require volunteers.
A hidden gem hiding in plain sight, Haven Beach Club is known for its family atmosphere, festive vibe, and beautiful sunsets. Incorporated in 1947, HBC is one of the oldest non-profit clubs on Long Beach Island, and the only one with an in-ground pool.
Our mission is simple:
To nurture a family atmosphere founded on volunteerism
To foster in our children a love for the water, via swimming and sailing opportunities
To provide our adults with an active social calendar
And to offer a welcoming community and a home away from home for people on Long Beach Island
Over 200 families enjoy a broad range of activities, suitable for all ages. Kids can learn to swim or improve their stroke technique with lessons in our six-laned pool or compete for the HBC swim team. Or, if they prefer, spend the day on the bay learning to sail or as a part of our sailing team. Adults have a calendar of social events to choose from, including Friday night happy hour parties that offer the best sunset view you’ll find anywhere on the island.
HBC is a volunteer-run club, and we rely on the support of our membership to sustain both our activities and our mission.
