Jersey Shore is peppered with popular destinations such as Atlantic City, The Wildwoods, and Cape May. But if you want something different and more laid-back, check out Belmar. This underrated seaside borough has a 1-mile (1.61-kilometer) long beach that’s perfect for sunbathing, fishing, and even surfing. You can go on a whale-watching excursion with one of the local charters– the best time to go is from May through June. If you’re in a partying mood, there’s D'jais along Ocean Avenue. It’s been the go-to dance club in Belmar since 1959.
But of course, the pristine Belmar Beach is the star of the show. Enjoy easy access to this beach and the Atlantic by booking one of the best beach house rentals in Belmar, New Jersey, listed below.
