Rumson-Fair Haven - Rumson, NJ Area Guide

Welcome to a classic New Jersey suburb

Bayfront Outdoors Accessible Hiking

Sitting on a peninsula between the Navesink River and Shrewsbury Bay, Rumson-Fair Haven is a classic suburban town with a welcoming atmosphere. Tidy, two-story homes set back from the street provide rental options in this tree-filled neighborhood. Residents enjoy their quiet community but still have easy access to New York City, located about 50 miles north.

Surrounded by water and close to several beautiful beaches, Rumson-Fair Haven provides easy access to outdoor fun. Go hiking or wildlife-viewing at Navesink River Wildlife Management Area, or explore the 14 miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails at Hartshorne Woods Park. Visit the Twin Lights State Historic Site for a dose of history and incredible views, or spend the day swimming, surfing, and sunbathing on the beach at Sea Bright. After a day of surf and sand, relax at one of the delicious waterfront restaurants or head back into town for more options.
