Welcome to Harvey Cedars

Located on the picturesque Long Beach Island and bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, Harvey Cedars is a small but vibrant New Jersey town with deep roots in maritime heritage. Historically known for its rich supply of seaweed, salt hay, and fishing, Harvey Cedars has endured numerous storms—including devastating hurricanes and the infamous 1962 nor’easter—that tested its strength. Thanks to the determination of its early residents, the town was rebuilt time and again, and today it thrives as a beloved beachside retreat.
 
For those seeking coastal living, Harvey Cedars waterfront properties offer stunning ocean views, a peaceful atmosphere, and close proximity to everything that makes this community so special.
 

A Popular Summer Escape

Though Harvey Cedars has a year-round population of just 300 residents, the town comes to life each summer as vacationers and seasonal homeowners arrive, swelling the population to over 2,000. With its natural beauty and inviting small-town feel, Harvey Cedars has become a top choice for those seeking luxury homes for sale on Long Beach Island.
 

Festivals, Camps, and Family Fun

Summer in Harvey Cedars is filled with lively events and local traditions. One of the highlights is the Striper Shootout All-Boat Fishing Tournament and Fish Fry, which draws anglers from all over the region. Other popular annual events include the Blue Claw Craft Show and the unique Wheelchair Race, showcasing the town's inclusive and active spirit.
 
Families can take advantage of a wide range of seasonal camps, including youth programs for soccer, lacrosse, and the Vangrow Art Camp—a creative space for budding artists of all ages. Another local favorite is Yoga on the Beach, where participants bring a towel and enjoy relaxing yoga sessions with a view of the ocean. Many of these programs are supported by the Long Beach Island Foundation of the Arts and Sciences, which is located nearby and offers an array of recreational, educational, and cultural activities. Ask your real estate agent about homes for sale near the foundation for convenient access to these programs.
 

Sun, Sand, and Outdoor Living

While events and camps bring excitement, the main draw for most visitors is the beach. With public access points at nearly every east and west street, the ocean is never far away. Harvey Cedars real estate includes properties within walking distance of the beach, where families can enjoy swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. Rental kiosks offer gear such as umbrellas, windsurfing equipment, and bicycles, and beach badges are available at the Beach Badge Booth in Sunset Park.
 
This bayside park is a hub for outdoor activity, offering tennis and basketball courts, a playground, picnic spots, and a scenic walkway along the bay. It's also a great launch point for kayaking and windsurfing. Even paintball enthusiasts will find a local course with varying levels of play. Living in one of the Harvey Cedars waterfront homes puts all of this right at your doorstep.
 

A Town with Historic Roots

Although many of Harvey Cedars’ original buildings were lost to past storms, one enduring piece of history remains—the Harvey Cedars Fishing Club. This private club, established in the 1870s, sits on the site of one of the earliest government-funded coastal rescue stations, a forerunner of the modern Coast Guard. Real estate near this landmark offers a connection to the town’s seafaring legacy and a glimpse into its storied past.
