Seaside Park sits on the Barnegat Peninsula, a narrow strip of land with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and Barnegat Bay on the other, giving the borough a distinct character that sets it apart from your typical New Jersey town. Located in Ocean County and just south of Seaside Heights, this small borough carries a relaxed coastal energy year-round, though it comes especially alive in the warmer months. The area's roots stretch back centuries, when the Lenape people called this stretch of coastline "Seheyichbi," meaning land bordering the ocean. Today, Seaside Park remains one of the more intimate spots along the Jersey Shore, with a population that stays well under two thousand permanent residents, creating a close-knit atmosphere that larger shore towns simply can't replicate. The Mathis Bridge provides a direct connection to the mainland, putting Toms River within easy reach and Philadelphia about ninety minutes away.
