Waretown Breweries & Craft Drinks | NJDrinks

Skip to main content

Waretown is a census-designated place in Ocean Township, Ocean County, situated on the mainland side of Barnegat Bay roughly midway between Toms River to the north and Manahawkin and Long Beach Island to the south. The area is a mix of year-round residential development and seasonal activity tied to the Barnegat Bay recreational corridor.

Craft beverage options in the Waretown area draw from both the year-round Barnegat Bay community and the significant seasonal traffic that moves through Ocean County during summer. Visitors traveling the Route 9 corridor between Toms River and the southern Ocean County shore points will find Waretown accessible, and it sits within a reasonable drive of the southern Ocean County communities including Barnegat and Staffordsville. For those based on Long Beach Island or in the Manahawkin area, the mainland Ocean County taproom circuit, including options in Toms River and Forked River, is accessible on a day trip from the island.
