Beach Haven is a borough in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States, that is located on Long Beach Island (LBI) and borders the Atlantic Ocean. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough's population was 1,170,[10][11][12] reflecting a decline of 108 (-8.5%) from the 1,278 counted in 2000, which had in turn declined by 197 (-13.4%) from the 1,475 counted in the 1990 Census.[22]

Beach Haven was incorporated as a Borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on November 11, 1890, from portions of Eagleswood Township, based on the results of a referendum held five days earlier.[23]

It was ranked the ninth-best beach in New Jersey in the 2008 Top 10 Beaches Contest sponsored by the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium.[24]

History

Beach Haven, known on Long Beach Island as the "Queen City,"[25] is a late 19th century beach-front resort originally established in 1873 to house wealthy summer residents from Philadelphia. Although some of the major structures, including several hotels and a boardwalk, were lost to storms in the 1940s including the Great Atlantic Hurricane of 1944,[26] a large portion of the town retains its Victorian and Edwardian character. The Beach Haven Historic District listed in the New Jersey and the National Register of Historic Places in the early 1980s, encompasses the most intact buildings at the core of the resort.[27]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough had a total area of 2.320 square miles (6.010 km2), including 0.978 square miles (2.534 km2) of land and 1.342 square miles (3.476 km2) of water (57.84%).[7][21]

The borough borders the Ocean County municipalities of Little Egg Harbor Township and Long Beach Township.[28]

Arts and culture

The Surflight Theatre was a 450-seat theater originally established in 1950 that offered theatrical productions for adults and children. It and its sister establishment, the cabaret-style sing-for-your dessert restaurant the Showplace Ice Cream Parlour, closed in 2015 after filing for bankruptcy with $2.6 million in debt.[38]

Parks and recreation

Beach Haven is home to multiple attractions, including the only amusement park on the island: Fantasy Island,[39] Bay Village Shopping Center, the Long Beach Island Museum[40] and many distinctive shops and restaurants, including Tucker's Restaurant, noted in Philadelphia magazine as the number one restaurant on Long Beach Island. The first incident in the Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916 took place at the east end of Engleside Avenue.[41][42] The ensuing series of attacks along the Jersey Shore became the basis for the book Jaws, by Peter Benchley. There is also a water park, Thundering Surf, and numerous miniature golf facilities. Veteran's Bicentennial Park, in the heart of Beach Haven, hosts many summer concerts, flea markets and parades, and an open park area for general recreation. As the island is only a few blocks wide, the beach and the bay are readily accessible from anywhere in Beach Haven. Pavilions could be found at Fifth and Pearl Streets, both of which were washed away by Hurricane Sandy in October 2012[43] and subsequently rebuilt in June 2013.[44] Beach badges are required and can be purchased at Borough Hall or the Centre Street badge booth.[45]

Local government

Since 2010, Beach Haven has been governed by a five-member Borough Council within the Faulkner Act, formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law, under the Council-Manager form of government. Members are elected on an at-large basis in non-partisan elections, with either two or three seats up for vote in even-numbered years as part of the November general election in a three-year cycle. At a reorganization meeting held each January, one member is chosen as mayor and another as council president, each serving one-year terms in that position.[6][46] Beach Haven had previously been governed under the Walsh Act, by a three-member Board of Commissioners, one of whom was selected to serve as Mayor, under a system in place from 1946 to 2010.[47][48]

As of 2016, members of the Beach Haven Borough Council are Mayor Nancy Taggart Davis (term on council and as mayor ends December 31, 2016), Council President S. James White (term on council ends 2018; term as council president ends 2016), Donald C. Kakstis (2018), Robert Keeler (2016) and Charles E. Maschal, Jr. (2016).[2][49][50][51][52][53]

In the November 2014 general election incumbent James White, who had not placed his name on the ballot for re-election, won the second open council seat behind a write-in campaign that brought him 167 votes, ahead of Don Katskis, who had received a total of 165 votes.[52][54]
