Stafford Township

Under the houses in Beach Haven West

Bayfront and lagoon

Beach Haven West sits in Stafford Township — a lagoon community in Stafford Township, cut back from Manahawkin Bay.

Housing stock. Largely single-storey homes from the dredge-and-fill era, many never elevated after 2012.

Ground and water. Canals give tidewater a direct path to the ground beneath these homes. Nuisance flooding on high tides is a routine part of life here.

Working here. Lagoon lots tend to be narrow with a bulkhead at the back, so access for machinery is often from the street side only.

Stafford Township handles permitting for this address. State registration has to be current before a permit is issued.
