A narrow barrier-island town between the ocean and the Shrewsbury River, known for beach clubs, waterfront restaurants, and one of the most compact geographies on the Shore. Ocean Avenue runs almost the entire length of town, with the beach on one side and the river on the other. Sea Bright combines a beach-town atmosphere with strong boating and waterfront culture, while remaining quieter than the larger boardwalk towns nearby.
