Sea Bright occupies a narrow barrier beach between the Atlantic Ocean and the Shrewsbury River, creating a unique shore town where you're never far from the water. This small community is known for its private beach clubs, stunning ocean views, and proximity to New York City.
The town stretches along Ocean Avenue, with the beach on one side and the river on the other. While much of the beach is controlled by private clubs, public beach access is available, and the atmosphere is more relaxed than neighboring towns.
Sea Bright suffered significant damage during Hurricane Sandy in 2012 but has rebuilt and remains a beloved destination for those seeking a quieter shore experience with easy access from the north.
