New Jersey has some pretty amazing seafood spots, some are even right on the water. However, we only have a handful of restaurants that you can boat right up to and grab a meal. This iconic seafood restaurant in Leeds Point is one, and it shouldn’t be missed.
Oyster Creek Inn is located in the marshes of Otter Pond, off Oyster Creek and the Great Bay.

The Inn is a restaurant and bar, surrounded by a small fishing village. It’s around 2 miles from a main road.

Oyster Creek is surrounded by protected lands, so you’ll see plenty of wildlife - especially birds.

Since it’s miles from civilization, the views seem to go on forever. This is what you’ll see from the deck.

The deck is a great place to grab a drink and watch the sun set but it’s also a wonderful spot to hang out all day.

If you’re not looking for a full meal, grab a drink at the boat bar (made from a real boat) or get one of their delicious desserts.
