Summer Belmar vacation rentals are an ideal way for your family to enjoy one of the East Coast's most inviting beaches. Belmar, located on the New Jersey Coast, about mid-way between New York City and Atlantic City, is home to several miles of white sand beach as well as an exciting and activity-filled boardwalk. Belmar is a great place to escape the summer city heat.
Belmar Attractions
Belmar offers plenty of activities for visitors of all ages. Among the highlights are:
- Surfing - Belmar is considered to be one of the best surfing locations along the East Coast. Visitors can watch the show or take a surfing lesson.
- Seafood Festival - Now in its 21st year, the Seafood Festival is one of Central New Jersey's most popular summer events. Held each June along Ocean Avenue near the boardwalk, the festival combines good food, music, an art show, and lots of fun.
- Beachside Concerts - Another summer Belmar favorite is the full schedule of outdoor, beachside concerts held each June, July, and August. Every Friday night during this time, a different jazz, rock, reggae, or other music genre performers entertain the crowd. What's more: the concerts are free.
- On the Boardwalk - Belmar's boardwalk extends the length of the beachfront area and is a great place to jog, stroll, and meet people. Children's playgrounds, restrooms, and sitting areas are offered every few blocks.
