shore town between the Atlantic and the Shrewsbury River, where wide beaches, marinas, and salt‑marsh views set an easygoing boat-and-bike lifestyle. Channel Club Marina, surf at sunrise, and sunset dune strolls. Daily conveniences include Monmouth Beach Supermarket, local coffee and bakery spots, casual seafood and Italian restaurants, small fitness studios, and nearby Pier Village and The Grove at Shrewsbury for bigger shopping and dining, plus Seven Presidents Oceanfront Park and Sandy Hook for expansive green spaces and water sports. Four true seasons bring ocean-tempered summers and occasional nor'easters.
