The Brigantine Cottage offers a special enhancement for its Guests who choose to vacation at the New Jersey Shore. In addition to enjoying Brigantine's clean beaches and waters, Guests have exclusive access to the Cottage's eighty foot private dock overlooking the protected Absecon Wildlife Preserve. This provides Guests with both an Ocean and a Bay experience to enjoy more activities while on vacation. Before the beach activities, begin the day on the dock with a morning cup of coffee to watch the Sunrise. An end to the day will often also be on the dock sipping a cold drink at Sunset sitting on a comfortable, colorful Adirondack chair. By the way, Stargazing on a clear night is beautiful too! The dock is located on quiet Steelmans Bay which has minimal boat traffic. Hanging out during the day on the dock is great too - kids search for shells and crabs at low tide, go fishing and swimming, or just enjoy observing marine life and nature up close. Going to the beach is fun too! A short two and a half block walk to the top of the street offers clean, sandy beaches to play volleyball, have a game of catch, build castles or just relax! The clean beach water and rolling waves offer excellent swimming, body surfing or boogie boarding, and of course there is shoreline fishing. Stroll on the Sea Wall to enjoy both the ocean views and feel the sea breezes at any time. Want to do things off the dock or away from the beach? The Brigantine Cottage is also located close to non-water based activities such as The Links, an 18 hole public golf club, the lookout tower at the Absecon wildlife preserve where you can look for and track dolphins and birds, There are tennis and pickleball courts, or visit the skateboard park and mini-golf. The Marine Stranding Center always has interesting things to see and hear about rescued mammals and turtles. For those who want to have a change of tempo, Atlantic City is just minutes away. It offers nightlife and entertainment that include concerts and shows, themed restaurants and of course gaming. There are also new attractions such as Top Golf and an indoor water park for a rainy day, plus the famous Boardwalk where you can rent bikes for an early morning ride or just stroll.
