Dear Community Members,
We welcome you back to the City of Long Branch for another great
season at the Jersey Shore! Whether you are spending your summer
with us or just visiting for a day, we hope you will take advantage of
what Long Branch has available for you.
Our city has more to offer than ever before to make it the best place to be to enjoy your summer.
We have several parks for recreation. Manahasset Creek Park has fields and courts, a walking path, and fitness stations. Our revitalized Jackson Woods park is a peaceful place to enjoy nature as well as interesting outdoor sculptures.
Our Recreation Department offers a variety of programs including
five family-friendly Fun Days in various neighborhoods throughout the City. Our Arts & Cultural Center on Broadway offers many interesting exhibits and programs, our new Senior Center offers evening programs open to everyone, and our Fire and History Museum recognizes the city’s proud past.
Oceanfest features one of the best fireworks displays along the shore with fun for the whole family! There are many other events throughout the summer months. Please go to our website at longbranch.org under “Community Events” to see a comprehensive list of summer happenings.
Be sure to pick up a library card to utilize our beautiful, newly renovated main library, and explore all the programs and special exhibits they have to share.
Long Branch has four miles of beautiful beaches for you to enjoy. Some have extended hours, and two locations are fully accessible. Our
beaches are open through September 2, 2025. For more information, please visit our website under “Beach Information.”
We also offer daily passes for Long Branch residents at our refreshing community pool, and both residents and non-residents may purchase season passes.
The summer months are a time for relaxation and fun. I wish everyone a safe and enjoyable summer!
Sincerely
John Pallone Mayor
