Explore Brigantine, NJ and Its Coastal Lifestyle Brigantine, New Jersey A barrier island escape rich with history, salt air, and small-town warmth, Brigantine has been welcoming families to the South Jersey Shore since its incorporation in 1890. Just over the bridge from Atlantic City, this 10-square-mile island, often called simply "The Island" by locals, offers something the rest of the Jersey Shore rarely delivers: wide, uncrowded beaches, a relaxed coastal pace, and a tight-knit community that residents return to generation after generation. Brigantine is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the protected back bays to the west, giving homeowners their choice of beachfront, bayfront, lagoon, and inland living. The island is connected to the mainland by a single bridge, the Justice Vincent S. Haneman Memorial Bridge , and that geography is part of the appeal. Once you cross over, you feel like you have left the rest of the world behind. The island's most iconic landmark is the Brigantine Lighthouse , built in 1926 at the entrance to the city. It remains a beloved symbol of the community and a popular gathering spot near the beach entrance. Just down the road, the Marine Mammal Stranding Center is the only organization in New Jersey authorized to rescue and rehabilitate stranded whales, dolphins, seals, and sea turtles. Since 1978, the center has responded to thousands of strandings along the Jersey coast and welcomes visitors to its education center and gift shop year-round. Nature lovers will appreciate Brigantine's proximity to the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge , which protects more than 48,000 acres of coastal salt marsh and barrier beach habitat. Its eight-mile Wildlife Drive is one of the best birdwatching destinations on the East Coast, with more than 360 recorded species along the Atlantic Flyway. The refuge's protected Brigantine Wilderness Area sits just north of the island and helps preserve the quiet, natural character that defines this stretch of shore. Golf is woven into the island's identity. The Brigantine Golf Links , built in 1927, is New Jersey's only authentic Scottish links-style course. Its breathtaking bay views, native marshes, and gently rolling, treeless terrain offer a true taste of Scotland just minutes from the Atlantic City Boardwalk. The dining scene punches well above its weight for a small island town. LaScala's Beach House sits right on the sand at 14th Street South and brings the acclaimed LaScala Restaurant Group's Philadelphia-rooted cuisine to Brigantine, with a sprawling outside deck, sushi, and live music in season. Andre's Wine Bar & Grill has been a family-run Italian favorite since 1983, beloved for its bronzino, homemade pastas, and rosemary pizza. The Crab Shack is the go-to for fresh-off-the-boat seafood, lobster rolls, and a working seafood market all in one. Other longtime local favorites include the Pirates Den for breakfast, Cordivari's, Yianni's Cafe, The Cove, Ernest & Son Meat Market for the island's best subs, and Aversa's Italian Bakery for fresh bread and pastries. Daily life on the island is wonderfully unhurried. Long walks on the beach, sunset paddles in the back bay, fishing the surf and inlets, the Brigantine Farmers Market on Saturday mornings in summer, and casual gatherings near the Lighthouse Circle. The Brigantine Beach Mini Golf Course and Shark Park are favorite stops for visiting grandchildren, and Riptide Bait & Tackle outfits the island's avid fishing community. Brigantine's real estate market is among the most desirable on the South Jersey Shore for second-home buyers. Inventory ranges from charming original beach cottages and renovated mid-century capes to newly built custom oceanfront and bayfront homes with private docks, elevator access, and rooftop decks. Lagoon-front properties with deep-water boat slips are especially sought after by buyers from the Philadelphia Main Line , the surrounding Philadelphia suburbs, and Central and Northern New Jersey. Many buyers are drawn here for the value relative to Margate, Longport, Avalon, and Stone Harbor, with the added bonus of larger lots, less congestion, and a true four-season community feel. Families with children appreciate the Brigantine Public Schools , serving students from pre-K through eighth grade, with high school students attending Atlantic City High School. Brigantine is truly one of a kind. A quieter, more authentic side of the Jersey Shore with the convenience of Atlantic City casinos, dining, and entertainment just minutes away, and Philadelphia International Airport roughly an hour west. Whether you are searching for a Brigantine beachfront home, a bayfront retreat with a boat slip, or a family-friendly second home at the South Jersey Shore, this island delivers a rare combination of lifestyle, location, and long-term value.   SHARE Search Homes Around Brigantine, NJ There's plenty to do around Brigantine, including shopping, dining, nightlife, parks, and more.
