Sea Bright Public Beach is known for its friendly, small-town energy and stretches of soft sand. Local publications like Red Bank Pulse and Asbury Park Press note its community-run concessions and locally owned surf shops, which add authentic flavor to a day at the shore. The beach is never too crowded, and the adjacent Sea Bright Village features beloved breakfast spots and quirky boutiques. It’s a wonderful option for those who want a peaceful atmosphere without sacrificing amenities or a sense of place.

Sea Bright Beach is a hidden gem! The sand is clean, the water is refreshing, and the views are absolutely stunning. It’s never overly crowded, making it perfect for a relaxing day by the ocean. The beach is well-maintained, with lifeguards on duty and easy access to restrooms and parking. Great spot for families, couples, or solo getaways. Can’t wait to come back!

The entire shoreline of this beach is filled with sand piranhas!! You can spot them where the waves wash over the sand; at first, they look like it's just coarse sand (~4 mm) being washed in/out, but if you look closer, you'll see that they move underneath the sand as the water retreats. I was very glad I wasn't going to swim in the water anyway, and just walked along the shore. The beach itself is nice; it's quiet, clean, it has bathrooms, showers, and there is a lot of parking for its size. But because of its proximity to NYC/LI/The Hudson River, the water has a yellow/greenish foam forming as the waves break. So, definitely don't go into the water if you have any cuts or open wounds...

Seabright beach is a great hangout spot for friends and family. The beach is free after 5PM and usually everyone packs up around that time so you can enjoy the beach by yourself. There are many stores around like Dunkin Donuts where you can grab some drinks and donuts and enjoy them on the beach. It's a well maintained, clean beach and it's a great place to visit.

I took my daughter to this beach today, a Wednesday morning. What a mess! Getting in or out of the downtown took at least 30 min. Finding park took some 40 minutes. I couldn’t actually get in the beach because (after going through all this!) they only took cash -an ATM meant another 30min of traffic plus another battle to find parking. Add to the fact I drove 1.5hrs just to get to this beach, to have this level of frustration… Lovely place. Impossible to enjoy (in my experience).

Great beach. The parking is a little annoying bc it's for 2 hours and then you have to move your car. Pictures show how some spots are numbered. So in case you are drunk, you will definitely get a ticket for putting in the wrong number in for your parking spot. Lol
