The Beach Haven Historic District, recognized on the National Register of Historic Places since 1983, is notable for its 19th-century architecture and history as a beachfront resort. A notable feature is the former Holy Innocents Mission Church, now the Long Beach Island Museum. Designed in 1882 by the Wilson Brothers of Philadelphia, it's a prime example of Stick/Shingle style architecture, funded by the Parry family who were instrumental in Beach Haven's development. This district offers a unique glimpse into the historic charm of this coastal resort area.
