About
Monmouth Beach Borough: Ocean Ave & Cottage Rd is a public beach access point on the New Jersey shore, about 0.6 miles from the town of Monmouth Beach.

For a walk to pair with a beach visit, Battery Loop lies about 3.8 miles away, with Battery Lewis and Rocky Point Trail each about 4 miles off.
