Neptune Township: S. Riverside Dr & Highland Ave
About
Neptune Township: S. Riverside Dr & Highland Ave is a public beach access point in New Jersey, about half a mile from Shark River Hills and near Shark River Municipal Marina. The access has parking, but swimming is not allowed here, so plan on a visit to the shoreline rather than a day in the water. Summer is the warmest stretch. Typical averages from the Long Branch-Oakhurst weather station, about 8 miles away, run near 84°F highs and 67°F lows in July, with September easing to around 76°F by day. Nearby trails make it easy to pair a stop here with a walk. Pine Hills is about 3 miles away, and Rivers Edge, Hidden Creek and the Edgar Felix Bikeway are each roughly 3 miles off.
