The Boardwalk
Our Commemorative Boardwalk Boards provide a unique way to celebrate special occasions, commemorate family memories, or honor loved ones. These personally engraved boards will be placed randomly along the new walkway at Bay Beach, leading to the entrance of the Boat Basin tunnel along Whale Creek. If you’re interested in ordering a board, please complete the Boardwalk Order Form and submit it with payment to the office.

Playground Fun
Our vibrant playground is a testament to our community’s dedication and generosity. Made possible through fundraising donations and installed by community volunteers, it’s a safe haven for kids to enjoy swings, slides, and other playground equipment. We invite children to play, but please ensure safety and respect for the equipment.
Kayak, Canoe, and Paddleboard Launch & Storage Racks
Our Bay Beach offers 102 storage racks for kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. Each rack costs $50 for the summer season, with an optional $50 off-season storage fee. Each rental includes one decal; additional decals are available for $10 each.
If you only wish to use the launch site (without renting a storage rack), you may do so for a $10 fee by completing and returning the Paddlecraft Liability Release Form.
Please display your decal prominently on the left side of your kayak, canoe, or paddleboard. For security, lock your paddlecraft to the rack—bungee cords are not permitted.
Rinse stations are available for washing down your paddlecraft before storage. To join the rack wait list, please complete both the Paddlecraft Storage Rack Rental Agreement and Paddlecraft Liability Release Form and submit them to the club office.
All paddlecraft must be removed from their racks by November 1 unless you have paid the off-season storage fee.
Skee Ball Fame!
Join the excitement as OB3’s historic 1940s Skee Ball machine is featured in a new documentary film highlighting the game’s history. Check out this Skee Ball Documentary for more details.
Boat Basin Access
With 38 slips available for rent in our Boat Basin, members in good standing may request a slip for the season at a rental cost of $100. Complete the Boat Basin Application & Agreement and provide proof of insurance, boat registration, and New Jersey issued numbers for approval. Remember, all vessels must be removed from the boat basin by November 1st, and the basin will be shut off on November 2nd.
