Turtle Cove - Manahawkin, NJ

Located just west of Manahawkin Bay, Turtle Cove is a fairly private spot for some great wakeboarding.

Turtle Cove is both Salt, and Tidal water, not for the tame. Water temps don't allow much boarding Nov-April, but that still leaves May - Oct. That's 6 months if my math is correct!

Location:

You can get to the channel by taking Exit 63 off the Garden State Parkway. Head towards Long Beach Island. There are several marina's to drop your boat, then just traverse across the bay to the cove which is the body of water south of Log Creek Pond.

About the Cove:

Early morning and Late afternoon are the BEST times to board here. During the day you get the wally's with their tubes and water toys. They just chop up the water and make things difficult. One thing to remember, the tide will affect your wake. high tide is best, but you can board all day if you like. It is shallow, 3-7 feet depending on where you are in the cove.

The Around Town:
