About Spring Lake Beach
Spring Lake is an upscale, quiet borough on the Monmouth County coast, known for its elegant Victorian homes and one of the longest non-commercial boardwalks in New Jersey — a two-mile oceanfront promenade with no shops or arcades. Sometimes called part of the 'Irish Riviera,' it draws visitors looking for a calm, refined day at the shore rather than boardwalk amusements. Swimming centers on the summer, when guarded beaches operate. Water temperature follows the open Atlantic — cool and bracing in the 60s°F in June, warming through July into the low-to-mid 70s°F by August and early September, then cooling through the fall. The beach faces open ocean, so surf and rip-current conditions vary — the live conditions and safety flag above tell you today's picture.
