Review:

Located where the Manasquan River meets the Atlantic Ocean, Manasquan is a popular tourist destination, especially for families.

Stretched along the Jersey Shore, Manasquan has a mile-long sandy beach on the ocean and access to the Manasquan River for fishermen and boaters.

The beach is popular with surfers and swimmers and kids love the fine sand. The downtown is full of great shopping and restaurants, all within walking distance from the beach.

One of the most curious attractions on Manasquan Beach occurs during low tide when the night is moonless and dark: The bioluminescent algae put on quite a show of eerie glowing red and blue colors every time the water is disturbed. The best show is during the summer months, from July to September.
