Shore Acres At A Glance

Shore Acres sits at the mouth of Kettle Creek where it meets Barnegat Bay, at the east end of Drum Point Road. The name covers both one sub-neighborhood and the township's whole planning area, which also takes in Waterside Gardens, Baywood, Mandalay Park and Seawood Harbor. In 1932 Bert Ward's Vanard company began the development and marketed it as the "Venice of the Jersey Shore."
