About Belmar
Belmar is central New Jersey's go-to surf spot, offering accessible waves and a welcoming scene for surfers of all levels. The beach break picks up swell consistently thanks to its open exposure, and the sandbars shift into quality configurations after storms. Multiple jetties along the beach help organize swell into defined peaks. Summer brings crowds and smaller waves, but fall and winter deliver the goods - clean groundswell, offshore winds, and thinning lineups. Parking is straightforward with meters and lots along the oceanfront.
