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.
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!

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.

Hi! My daughter just moved to Long Branch from Jersey City June 29. Her Birthday is July 1. I wanted to send her flowers for her birthday to make her feel like home. I called lillis flowers in long branch NJ randomly and I spoke with Kevin! He was very patient and kind ! He listened to my every wish and concern. After many calls back and forth to make sure I was happy, we finally came to a decision that made me feel like we nailed the type of flowers that would go in the arrangement! Well, they were delivered on her birthday and my daughter was so happy to receive this beautiful arrangement ! She absolutely loved the flowers and especially the type of flowers that were in the bouquet. My daughter had a great day and it made her feel like “home”. Thank you Kevin for listening to a Mothers concern and to make my daughter happy as flowers always warms the heart❤️

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.
