Some of the clubs are bunched close together in Beach Haven, within blocks of the water slides/ Bay Village. You can't miss it because of the only Ferris Wheel on the island. I would recommend the miniature golf right there. It is one of the best 18-hole courses in Jersey (no windmills!).
Something to do before the clubs get going.
Within walking distance would be the Ketch on the bay (usually a live band), the Sea Shell on the ocean (everyone just calls it the Shell) which is both indoor and outdoor next to the dunes and the hotel pool.
The Marlin is right on the main drag in the middle of the two, which is an ok restaurant that morphs into a live band - club.
Moving north up the island, you will see Nardi's tavern on the main road. Recently redone (extensively) and very popular, plus they have a free shuttle that will pick you up and take you home (within reason).
Moving north, you'll see Daddy O's also on the main road, but more upscale ($$$) and likely an older crowd, from what I've heard.
Far north at the lighthouse resides Rick's American Cafe that does a good club business, although a far ride unless your house is above the causeway.
Some others I may have missed. Have dinner at the Engleside at least once (they also have a full sushi bar), and then you can walk over to the Shell in 5 minutes.
No matter what, have a designated driver or face the wrath of the local cops, especially at 2am. They will park and watch for any drunks, even on pedal bikes. This is why I mention Nardi's shuttle.
See you there!
PS, pick up a free copy of the Sand Paper when you arrive. The yellow boxes are found in front of many stores. In it will detail what band/dj is playing at which place each night. Then get the next edition on Weds morning to get the rest of the schedule. Any place hosting the Nerds will be worth a visit, as they are the biggest draw.
