Lavallette Visiting & Lodging
Lavallette is a compact, family-oriented shore destination with an oceanfront boardwalk, guarded beaches, Barnegat Bay recreation and enough restaurants and shopping to make many stays largely walkable.
Traditional lodging is limited, so visitors often choose between the borough's two long-running lodging properties and private vacation rentals.
