Tucked between the Shrewsbury River and the Atlantic Ocean, Monmouth Beach is a small Jersey Shore borough where the pace of life slows down and the water is never far away. Spanning just over two square miles, this close-knit community in Monmouth County carries a quiet, coastal character that sets it apart from the busier resort towns along the shore. The area was first settled in 1668 and formally incorporated as a borough in 1906, giving it a deep sense of place and local pride that still shapes the community today.
Monmouth Beach sits within easy reach of Long Branch, Sea Bright, and other neighboring towns, offering residents access to a wider range of experiences while enjoying a more low-key home base. Monmouth University is a short drive away, adding an educational anchor to the surrounding region.
