Welcome to High Bar Harbor! This cache is a small spice container. It is right across the road from the High Bar Harbor sign, with a little walk through the brush.
High Bar Harbor is a neighborhood and unincorporated area located in the northwestern-most portion of Long Beach Township, New Jersey. The area is on Long Beach Island, west of Barnegat Light. The area has no beaches of its own. The 400 homes on the lagoons were developed in the mid-1950s. As the section is surrounded on three sides by water, almost all of the homes are on the water or have water access. The neighborhood has a network of canals leading from Barnegat Bay and is thus popular with boaters. While some residents are year-round inhabitants, the majority of homes are only occupied during the summer season. The neighborhood contains mostly residences and is known as a quiet, secluded, and exclusive area.
High Bar Harbor actually has a pretty interesting history. It was going to be a huge waterfront complex with house after house, lot after lot. At the beginning, each lot was going for as little as $1,500, because there was going to be so many. However, the rest of High Bar was supposed to be on the marsh across from High Bar, and there was going to be a big bridge where the park is now. However, the state stopped the building on the marshes, and only a small fraction of High Bar Harbor was actually built. This is why all the streets start with "A", because what is built now would have been 1/26 of the entire complex, with the other streets starting with letters from B to Z.
