Belmar is the epicenter of New Jersey surfing, with different avenues offering distinct characters — 8th Avenue is the locals' barrel spot with a fiercely territorial crew, while 16th Avenue and the public beaches provide more accessible peaks for the broader surf community. The east-facing beach picks up virtually every Atlantic swell, and fall hurricane season delivers punchy, hollow conditions over well-shaped sandbars. Home to multiple surf shops, competitions, and a deep surf culture, Belmar has been the heartbeat of Jersey Shore surfing for decades.
