A small, highly residential barrier-island borough between Bay Head and Brick Township. Mantoloking is defined by oceanfront homes, bayfront properties, beach access, and a quiet, low-density feel. There is little commercial activity, no boardwalk, and limited public-facing tourism infrastructure, making it one of the most private-feeling towns on this stretch of the Shore.
