      Well kept beaches, nicely situated near the town center. Keep an eye on your speed in the area, lots of patrols to keep pedestrians safe.

      it is a borough of Monmouth County and is one of the most peaceful beaches along the Northern Shore.

      First of all- Parking: I loved the parking spot here. I wish every beach has this kind of parking facility just in front of the prominent beach spot and that too $2/hr. I know this is not such a famous beach, but still, I did not have to waste my time finding street parking or anything. It's right near the main beach.

      walk up the ramp or steps to the new Sea Bright Beach Pavilion which fronts an elevated concrete walkway and small boardwalk that extend for about 1/3 of a mile south. play volleyball or use the children's playground. Outdoor showers are along the walkway, restrooms are inside the pavilion, and police, fire, and lifesaving personnel are nearby.

      Short boardwalk but it's great for enjoying a walk with loved ones or kicking back and relaxing. Enjoy the breeze coming from the Atlantic as you spend your day unwinding.

      Beach Pass: From Memorial Day to Labor Day, beach badges are required at the supervised public beaches in front of the Beach Pavilion and at Anchorage Beach. Badges are necessary for non-members to sit in front of a beach club. The daily beach badge is $8, and children under the age of 12 are free

      New fans of Sea Bright Beach! I had never been here before, but my family fell in love and I think this will have to be our new beach. Parking was easy as there is a parking lot by the beach office($2 per hour), along with ramps, bathrooms, showers, etc. we passed a small basketball court and saw a playground right on the sand. We saw a surfing section and swimming section and people generally respected their own spaces. We went on a busy summer day, but it wasn't too crowded. We also saw plenty food options across the street as well. We'll be back for sure, we loved it.

      I love this beach. Need to pay parking and for the beach I wish it was either one. It's not that crowded during the week. I went once on a Sunday and never found parking the lot fills up. Playgrounds on bathrooms near beach as well as a library.

      This was my first time at Sea Bright, even though I have been to many other beaches along the jersey shore. There is a huge lot that you can pay for on an app - this was $2 an hour. It was $8 to get onto the beach for adults. Make sure you have cash otherwise you have to trek across the street to find an ATM. The beach was incredibly clean, the lifeguards are on duty until 5. Overall I would come back and visit.

      Sea Bright has one of the more secluded beaches in New Jersey. Most of the beaches at Sea Bright are private but they do have a great public access beach. Unlike Point Pleasant, Seaside, Ocean City, Wildwood and Atlantic City, Sea Bright does not have a boardwalk with restaurants, retail stores, amusement games and rides.

      It gets congested when in the summer when Sandy Hook fills to capacity in the summer.The public beach is clean, the sand is yellow/white and is dredged up from off shore periodically. The wave action runs a range from calm to a turbulent 6 feet but most of the timethe waves are under 2 feet. Life guards are on duty from Memorial Day to Labor Day. There are no lifeguards after Labor Day and no fee to use the public beach.

      During the season there is an $8 per/person fee and after your admission is paid, you are given a braclet. Those 12 and under are free. Restrooms are adjacent to the boardwalk. You can bring a cooler on the beach. The municipal parking lot has metered parking. It is $1 per/hour. There are plenty of stores, taverns and restaurants along the ocean drive that runs through Sea Bright. After Sandy much of Sea Bright was redone and looks great.

      Came here for the first time early June 2020 and I have to say I did enjoy that visit and wouldnt mind coming back again.

      We initially planned to go to Sandy hook but since they were full we ended up in Sea Bright. Good thing we did. That day we went the weather was perfect! Sunny with a cool June breeze. We got a lucky parking spot by the Sea Bright Beach Pavilion close to the Ocean rescue. It was nice that there was an unlimited time parking meter, we just had to add more coins if we wanted to extend. Our spot was great too! Close to the ramp and the porta-potty lol hey dont judge! Haha anyway, the beach was kept clean! People were not rowdy and they have lockers available.

      The boardwalk was also nice and relaxing, and opposite beach are a line of stores and shops!

      Not sure if its always like this or we just went at a good time, but hey, i'll thankful for that.

      The Sea Bright beach is beautiful!
      I am on the border of Monmouth Beach so I avoid the parking costs and chase for a parking spot.
      The beaches are clean and the people are nice.
      The beach at this end offer private and public access. No restrooms, no concessions and no beach badges required. At the other end of Sea Bright there are municipal parking lots with metered parking, restaurants, shops, showers and restrooms.

      I hope and pray the entire state of NJ, and specifically Carol at the Seabright Municipal Court, drop into the ocean.

      ZERO parking signage up and down a whole block, I double checked. I parked for 1.5 hours making SURE not block a driveway, park in-front of yellow pained curb, or block a fire hydrant. I was with THREE locals who double checked my work and said I was good to go.

      NOPE.

      $50 ticket with a mysterious 3% service charge to pay it online. Aren't your taxes high enough? You need to suck even more money out of the population?

      Go eat a dead crab New Jersey. I can't wait till climate change wipes your clown shoes operation off the map.

      Zero stars. Would not return. A curse upon The Boss's house.

      Social distancing at the beach...

      It was such a lovely day and staycationing upon us just couldn't resist a glorious day at the Jersey Shore. Was kind of surprised somewhat, that there were many families mid-week in late August. Honestly it was good to see.

      Once parked ($1.00 an hour), we headed on to the boardwalk (?) you'll have masks on. Once hitting the sand masks off. Getting on this beach will cost $8.00 per person and they give brackets to wear. Just find an open spot and of course, away from the other beachgoers. It's really not all that hard. Just be aware of your surroundings. You would never know that it was 2020. Yay. :) It isn't the biggest of beaches down the Shore, but that's what drew me in. Smaller beach and hence, smaller crowd.

      There are bathrooms to use and outdoor showers once you leave. Would definitely come back. It was so good to have sand between my toes again. Maybe after Labor Day and work on my tan line.
