The Normandy Beach Yacht Club is a private club located at the end of South Court, on Barnegat Bay, in Normandy Beach, NJ. The Normandy Beach Sailing Club founded in 1945, started Sunday races from the north side of Harbor Court, then a bayberry covered peninsula with only one house. A second house was built in 1946 on the starting line, but the spot continued as the sight of the Sailing Club activities for a period of time. Interest in sailing increased and it became fashionable to serve cocktails after the last gun was fired.
