Barnegat Bay Maritime Museum

​Founded in 1976, the Barnegat Bay Maritime Museum is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of the rich maritime heritage of the Toms River and Barnegat Bay in New Jersey. These waters have produced a number of boat types important to the shallow estuaries and bays that provide haven for the feisty blue crab, flat faces flounder, elusive bay scallop and sweet cherrystone clam. Our Maritime Museum is located on the northeast corner of Water Street and Hooper Avenue in Toms River. GPS address is 78 East Water Street, and the parking lot entrance is on Hooper Avenue.
