There are so many increadible beaches and shore towns located here in Monmouth County.
Monmouth County beaches are located at the northern most end of the Jersey shore and are the most popular and crowded beaches in New Jersey. Because of the location they are visited by many visitors from North Jersey and New York.
Most New Jersey beaches charge a fee in the form of a beach badge for access to the beach. The expense is shared by both visitors and residents. Many of us purchase “seasonal beach badges”. It’s just an easy way to avoid having to purchase a pass or wristlet every time we want to hit the beach!
With the exception of Sandy Hook and Seven Presidents Park in Long Branch, Monmouth County beaches are administered by the local towns.
