12 · MONMOUTH COUNTY, NEW JERSEY

Monmouth Beach Between the Waters.

One square mile between the Shrewsbury River and the Atlantic Ocean — a private-club beach community with 3,500 residents.

THE OVERVIEW

A Narrow Strip, A Big Beach Club.

Where the ocean is three blocks from the river, the Bath and Tennis Club is the social center, and Manhattan downsizers land for oceanfront without a five-acre lawn.

Monmouth Beach is what happens when a borough is three blocks wide. You can walk from the Shrewsbury River to the Atlantic Ocean in four minutes. The Bath and Tennis Club, the Monmouth Beach Cultural Center, and two blocks of West End Avenue shops — that's the whole scene. Which is exactly why residents love it.

Oceanfront properties here start at $1.5M and go to $7M+ for the newest shingled new-construction homes. The river side is $900K to $2.5M. The Shore Regional High School district serves here, and Rumson, Sea Bright, and Long Branch are all within ten minutes.

Mirtha represents the second-home buyer from Manhattan or Philadelphia, the downsizer from Rumson who wants oceanfront without a five-acre lawn, and the bilingual international buyer who values the private-club exclusivity.

What You'll Find Here.

Monmouth Beach Bath and Tennis Club

The private oceanfront club — cabanas, tennis, and the summer social calendar that defines year-round Monmouth Beach life.

Atlantic Ocean Private Beach

The borough's residents-only oceanfront — lifeguarded in summer, walkable from every street in town, and the daily morning anchor.

Shrewsbury River

The tidal waterway on the borough's western edge — private docks, boat access to Sandy Hook Bay, and the river sunsets that complement the ocean sunrises.

Monmouth Beach Cultural Center

The small gallery and performance space on the ocean side — art exhibits, chamber music, and the borough's quiet cultural anchor.

Shore Regional High

The shared high school district with Oceanport, Sea Bright, Long Branch, and West Long Branch — a strong regional public-school anchor.

West End Avenue

The two-block commercial spine of Monmouth Beach — a bakery, a deli, a small café, and the morning walking circuit of the borough's year-round residents.

Sea Bright Bridge

The bridge connecting Monmouth Beach to Sea Bright — a short walk to Sea Bright's restaurants, Rumson-Sea Bright Bridge, and the rest of the peninsula.
