The Black Pearl offers cruises of Little Egg Harbor Bay. We took a fantastic sunset cruise in 2018.

This is an Aerial view of the bayside of North Beach Haven and part of Spray Beach. The Boulevard is clearly visible. The Spray Beach Yacht Club is visible in the top left of the photo. I’m not sure of the exact date, but judging from the vehicles, it is probably from the 1940’s.

Unfortunately, this photo does not do the M&M Steam bar justice. It sold raw and cooked seafood. As I recall, the M&M ended operations after Hurricane Sandy.

Marvels Market in Spray Beach was located where the new WaWa stands.  Marvels was a small ‘supermarket’. One of the things I remember most was the doughnut machine making endless doughnuts.  There is a small deli on the other side of the boulevard that still makes the doughnuts.
