Sea Bright

With a vibrant downtown and booming restaurants, Sea Bright has become a darling of the Shore and year-round destination rivaling Asbury Park and Red Bank.  The seaside stretch is eclipsed by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Shrewsbury and Navesink Rivers to the west, giving visitors ocean sunrises by day and waterfront sunsets by night.  It hosts seven members-only beach clubs as well as multiple public beaches, where many of the 1,412 residents bask in the sun and surf the swells.
