With a wide, well-maintained shoreline and a walkable, independently owned Pier Village, Long Branch Beach draws both locals and visitors seeking a classic shore day without the crowds of bigger resort towns. The beach gets consistent praise from The Star-Ledger and The Infatuation for its accessibility, diverse food options, and welcoming atmosphere. Stroll the boardwalk for ocean views, or head slightly north to Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park for a quieter experience. Local cafes, ice cream shops, and small galleries line the nearby streets, offering a genuine taste of the community.
Truly a longtime favorite place to beach and shop! Come here for the coast and the coolest vibes… and breeze! It’s like an all-inclusive getaway, even if just for a day. Parking, food, and ocean views are plentiful and there’s many options for each.

Really lovely, clean beach. Plenty of restrooms on the boardwalk and places to get a snack. It’s a wide beach, well maintained and lifeguards on duty. A small fee but totally worth it!

I only visit the beach during off season, otherwise it's a nightmare!
Beautiful day for Oct. 23rd, so I decided to hit the boardwalk. It was an absolutely superb day!!!!
Parking was heaven! Restaurants weren't inundated with hoards of people and screaming children.

It’s a good beach if you want to enjoy a nice and relaxing day, is quiet, the water is SOOO cold but besides that is great! It has some sand sculptures and a beautiful boardwalk. Parking is easy during week days and has a lot of restaurants to choose from.

4 long blocks down Morris Avenue from the Long Branch train station to the beautiful clean beach! Free entry for 65+ years old. Bags are checked prior to entry. Plenty of clean restrooms. Many eateries and other diverse retail establishments are also available.
