Beaches & Boardwalks · Manasquan
Manasquan Beach and Inlet
Manasquan's borough-run ocean beaches at the mouth of the Manasquan Inlet, with season badges, an inlet surfing stretch and an off-season dog window.
Manasquan's beaches are run by the Beach Department from 201 East Main Street. Season badges cost $90 for adults 17 to 64, $35 for seniors 65 and older, and $45 for juniors 12 to 16, with proof of age required for the junior and senior badges. Handicap badges are half price. Daily badges are sold online at manasquanbeachbadges.com.
Active military personnel and their immediate family are admitted free with ID, and veterans are admitted free with proper identification. The beach department also rents Sea Watch lockers, assigned by lottery. Parking passes are sold separately and cannot be bought through the Community Pass portal.
Inlet Beach sits beside the Manasquan Inlet. The borough's beach FAQ says surfing is allowed from Inlet Beach to Whiting II Beach at the discretion of the lifeguards, and that Inlet Beach has a bathroom and shower. Dogs are permitted on the beach from October 1 to April 15 on a leash and are not allowed on the boardwalk.
