Bradley Beach, NJ Vacation Rentals

Bradley Beach, New Jersey (located in Monmouth County) is a small but friendly oasis on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean.

You can find terrific New Jersey family vacation rental options near the Shark River harbor or over by the arts theater. Kids can play miniature golf on a sophisticated course while the parents shop by the beach or traipse along the boardwalk of Asbury Park.

From time to time, the Victorian Great Auditorium in nearby Ocean Grove puts on regional theater shows and other great entertainment. The Bradley Beach Marina is always bustling. Find fresh fish, friendly boat operators who can take you on tourist cruises of the sparkling Atlantic Ocean, and people-watching opportunities galore.

After swimming in the ocean or tanning out on the warm sand, look to Bradley Beach's many fine restaurants to refill and relax you. Exciting New Jersey shore vacation action occurs year round. During the summer, head to the 5th Avenue Gazebo to hear free professional and semiprofessional musical performances. On Memorial Day, join in the parade along Ocean Avenue.
