Monmouth Beach is the quiet, withdrawn, ultra-exclusive community that values privacy over tourism. Often called the "Greta Garbo of the Jersey Shore," this small borough offers just 1.5 miles of pristine beachfront between Sea Bright and Long Branch.
The town's crown jewel is the Monmouth Beach Bath and Tennis Club, known locally as "Big Monmouth," a grand white edifice with waiting lists extending years. This historic community once functioned as a "millionaires' colony" hosting robber barons, publishers, and industrialists including Jay Gould (Western Union founder) and Vice President Garret Hobart.
For those seeking a peaceful escape from the typical Jersey Shore crowds, Monmouth Beach offers an understated elegance that has attracted discerning visitors for over a century. The Sopranos even filmed at Channel Club Marina here in Season 2.
