5 Coastal New Builds and Landmark Living Along the Jersey Shore

Along the water’s edge in Beach Haven on Long Beach Island, 5000 Bay Terrace carries a singular past—originally built as a U.S. Life-Saving Station, serving these waters before the Coast Guard even existed, and later transitioned into a Coast Guard station. Thoughtfully transformed into an extraordinary private residence, it balances historic significance with refined coastal luxury. The layout includes five bedrooms, two full baths, and two half baths, with the bay taking center stage from nearly every room. From the kitchen, oceanfront homes line the horizon, a daily reminder of the setting’s quiet drama. Once a place where rescue crews stood watch over the shoreline, it now lives on as a legacy property—rich with story, presence, and a life shaped by the rhythms of the water.

Steps from the shoreline in the heart of historic Beach Haven, this rare mixed-use property pairs the beloved Crêperie de la Mer with a spacious private residence on an oversized 60 x 100 oceanside lot. Inside, approximately 2,500+ square feet of flexible space blends updated living areas with enduring historic character. The fully equipped restaurant brings a note of Parisian charm—an inviting setting for daily rhythms that can feel equal parts neighborhood institution and personal retreat. Upstairs or beyond the commercial spaces, the residence offers four bedrooms plus a generous office, creating room to live, work, and recharge in one cohesive setting. Out back, a landscaped yard extends the experience outdoors with a firepit and swim spa—an easy, unhurried finish to days shaped by sea air and Beach Haven’s classic appeal.
