The reason? Belmar offers something for everyone!
Those seeking seaside relaxation and recreation find in Belmar a convenient, clean white beach where children build sandcastles along the breakers while their parents splash on suntan lotion and bask in the sun and cool salt-air breezes.

Downtown, the large business district invites shoppers to “take a stroll down Main Street” and spend their leisure hours visiting its many unique stores and shops. Here you‘ll find almost any need satisfied with a friendly smile and service. Down along Route 35 is the Belmar Marina, where a variety of party and charter fishing boats await you to board for a day out at sea, or just to come down and take a look at today‘s catch.
And if shopping and fishing builds up an appetite, many fine restaurants, coffee shops, and cafés throughout town can accommodate even the most eclectic taste. From steaks to lobster, poultry to pasta, and vegetarian, too. From Northern Italian to the Caribbean and Central America, you‘ll sample every cuisine while dining in Belmar.
Belmar‘s popularity in the summer is well known, but what makes Belmar truly special is its unique, small-town charm, and its most important treasure: its friendly people. This is why Belmar offers the best of both worlds. For three months every summer, Belmar is a vibrant, health-conscious seaside resort community. And for twelve months a year, Belmar is a wonderful community in which to live, raise a family or retire.

VIEW LONG BRANCH LISTINGS BY SCROLLING BELOW
While life in most New Jersey Shore communities is centered around a modest block or two of business district and a hubbub of activity during warmer times, life in the year-round City of Long Branch is too energetic, too diverse, and too full of ideas to be confined to a single “hub” and a single season.
As the largest city in Monmouth County (5 square miles), Long Branch is many places in one…a rich tapestry of cultural currents and cool breezes – from beloved “mom and pop” storefronts and old-world ethnic cafes to sophisticated nightlife and upscale shopping. If you are looking for great dining, chic boutiques, outdoor recreation, art, music, theatre, unique bars or simply state-of-the-art relaxation, you’ve come to the right place…the new Long Branch with its timeless oceanfront vistas, riverfront views and marinas, and seaside promenades.
Long Branch is also the home of Seven Presidents Park. In the summer, this 38-acre beach park is a great place to swim, sun and surf; in the off-season, a nice place for quiet walks. Everything needed to enjoy a day at the beach is readily available during the summer months: snack bar, sheltered eating areas, volleyball area, outdoor showers and changing areas, guarded swimming, designated areas for surfing. The park also offers a reservable picnic tent for groups of up to 50.
Shopping, dining, and entertainment can be experienced at Long Branch’s Pier Village, an award-winning mixed use community built in 2005. Pier Village consists of 536 rental residences sitting atop more than 100,000 square feet of retail space. A public grassy area called Festival Plaza is the site of regular events, including concerts, arts & crafts fairs, outdoor movies and holiday events. The first story of the buildings is filled with shops and restaurants, while the upper floors are filled with ocean-view apartments. There are three restaurants situated on the boardwalk facing the ocean: Avenue, Sirena and McLoones. Ofthese, only McLoone’s Pier House is free-standing – built from the ground up by the restaurateur, it was open a year in advance of the rest of the commercial properties within the Village.
There are also other areas that have been identified for redevelopment. The Broadway Arts Center is one project that had stalled due to financial/economic factors, but the new economic climate is bringing about new interest. The plan to develop the area includes adding 70 new shops and restaurants, 500 residences, and performing arts theaters.
The city also has plans to rebuild the pier that was burned by a fire in 1987. The reconstruction will include the addition of a ferry terminal, running ferries from Long Branch to NYC. If this project eventually comes to fruition, it would be the largest infrastructure project in the history of Long Branch.
Long Branch is very conducive to commuters, offering a number of different transportation options including its own train station and multiple bus stops. It’s about a 10 minute drive to the Sea Streak Ferry, a quick drive up Route 36 to the Parkway and Route 18.
Most of the oceanfront residences in Long Branch are condominium complexes and townhomes. Each complex is unique and offers varying amenities – pools, concierge service, gyms, tennis courts, recreation rooms, etc. Some allow pets, while others have strict rules against them. They each have individual rules regarding rentals. Regardless of your needs, Long Branch has something to offer!

The Borough of Sea Girt, located in Monmouth Count, New Jersey, consists of a one-square mile locality between Stockton Lake and Wreck Pond with a unique history and the charm of a quiet seaside community.
Sea Girt is a beautiful community blessed with small town charm, rural beauty, and a rich community life with an abundance of recreational activities enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. The Borough of Sea Girt’s beaches and boardwalk are open on a year-round basis. The boardwalk offers a panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean that starts at the historic Lighthouse and runs to the Southern end of the charmingly inviting town.
The Sea Girt Lighthouse, at Ocean Avenue and Beacon Boulevard in Sea Girt, New Jersey, flashed its first light December 10, 1896. The beacon, which could be seen 15 miles at sea, guided countless mariners in their journeys and contributed to the state’s economic growth and helped make sailing through local waters safer.
The lighthouse was built to illuminate a blind spot midway in the 38½-mile stretch between Navesink Lighthouse (Twin Lights) to the north and Barnegat Lighthouse to the south. It also served as a landmark for nearby Sea Girt Inlet and Wreck Pond.
By the early 1900s, there were some 40 light stations – lighthouses, lightships and range lights – along New Jersey’s 130-mile coastline. Just over half of them survive. But only 11 of the original lighthouses, including Sea Girt, are open to the public.

Spring Lake also has a top-rated school system, including 1 public (H.W. Mountz) and 1 Private (St. Catherine’s) elementary school. Spring Lake public school students go to Manasquan High School.
There is no shortage of things to do in this wonderful Victorian town. A quaint downtown area is home to wonderful shops and eateries. In addition to basking on Spring Lake’s sparkling white sands, you will also enjoy biking, fishing, boating, concerts in the park, walking/jogging the long boardwalk, seven tennis courts, the wonderful productions presented by the Spring LakeTheater, and so much more! Spring Lake has been home to the Spring Lake Five since 1977, which has since grown into New Jersey’s largest road race. History buffs can find a slew of magical history in Spring Lake, and may want to visit Spring Lake’s Centennial Clock on Third Avenue. The clock was constructed in 1992 to commemorate the borough’s 100th birthday. Beneath the plaque, there is a time capsule which contains memorabilia of 1992 Spring Lake, a video of the town, and pictures drawn by the town’s school children. The capsule will be opened in the year 2042.
For each of the past two years, the boardwalk has taken quite a beating – Irene in 2011 and Sandy in 2012 both took their toll. One of the two landmark pavilions, the North End Pavillion, was demolished and carted off in December of 2012. While plans to demolish the 80-year-old terracotta-tiled building were in the works long before the wrath of Sandy, the Superstorm did delay the demolition and subsequent rebuild in the same spot. The new design, anticipated to be complete by October 2013, will incorporate two saltwater pools and five of the original terracotta tiles and will extend 16 feet closer to Ocean Avenue, eliminating the parking spaces on the west side.
When the historic Third Avenue was laid out and graded, it was a dirt street on which horses trotted and carriages rolled. Eventually the automobile replaced the horse and in 1920, the avenue was paved. Livery stables became garages. Automobile dealerships and auto repair shops appeared. Gas pumps sprang up along the avenue. For nearly the first half of the 20th century, Third Avenue was a clearly defined line dividing two Spring Lakes. There was the Spring Lake east of Third Avenue and the Spring Lake west of Third Avenue. During the summer, the town east of Third Avenue glittered and bustled with the activities of the summer visitors – during the winter months, it was dark and empty as all the homes and hotels were boarded up for the season. The year-round residents who operated the business which supported the resort community lived west of Third Avenue. Third Avenue itself also changed with the seasons – winter saw many of the stores close because there was not a population large enough to support them. As Dr. Robert Patterson put it, “It was three months scurry and nine months worry.” After the Second World War, more people made Spring Lake their permanent home. Today, most Spring Lakers are year-round residents and Third Avenue’s businesses stay open all year.

Wall Township is a wonderful, large community, spanning approximately 31.4 square miles, with a population according to the 2010 Census Bureau of 26,164. Located on the southern end of Monmouth County, Wall Township was formally incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 7, 1851.
During the turn of the 19th Century, many of the other seashore communities, including Belmar, Manasquan, Spring Lake, Sea Girt, Brielle, South Belmar (now Lake Como), and Spring Lake Heights, seceded from Wall to form their own municipalities. Wall Township now includes land from the Shark River to the Manasquan River, as well as land from Belmar to Howell.
Wall’s location makes it a very attractive place to live. There are homes on the river if you want a water view, or wish for a place to dock your boat. It’s only a short distance to beautiful area beaches, and its Bike Trail takes you right through to Manasquan.
Easy access to the Garden State Parkway, Highways 71, 35, and 34, as well as Highway 138 connecting to Interstate 195, and Route 18. Additionally, mass transit such as buses, trains, and ferries makes it very easy for commuters. Corporate jets from Allaire Airport fly over tree-edged open spaces dotted with industries, businesses, clusters of homes, tilled farms and stable lands.
Wall’s proximity to area beaches, Shark River, Allaire State Park, and farmland make the township an ideal place for outdoor activities. Horseback riding, boating, surfing, fishing, golf, camping, running, biking, swimming, tennis, basketball, soccer…and the list goes on. Wall Township even boasts its own 1/3 of a mile paved oval Speedway, Wall Stadium Speedway, one of the most successful stock car racing short tracks in the Country.
