Monmouth County, New Jersey offers a wide variety of activities and attractions for visitors and residents alike. From outdoorsy adventures to relaxing beach days and so much more, here are 20 fun things to do in Monmouth County, NJ!

1. Visit the beaches

Enjoy visiting the beautiful beaches of Monmouth County this summer, or all year round! Go swimming, relax in the sand, or take a leisurely walk along the shoreline. My favorites include Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Avon-by-the Sea, Belmar, Sandy Hook, and Long Branch, but these are just some of the many beaches in Monmouth County!

2. Explore Allaire State Park

Go hiking, biking, or horseback riding on the park’s trails, and visit the historic village within the park.

Monmouth County is home to three beautiful lighthouses that each offer tours: 1) The Sandy Hook Lighthouse, 2) The Twin Lights in the Highlands, and 3) The Sea Girt Lighthouse.

A more specific outing at one of Monmouth County’s Beaches includes a day exploring Asbury Park! Enjoy live music, unique shops, and delicious food along this vibrant boardwalk, as well as the main downtown. Cookman Ave has a plethora of amazing restaurants and boutiques worth checking out. I recommend dinner at Talula’s for some incredible sourdough pizza, and ice cream at Cookman Creamery! Visitors and locals can even ride swan-shaped peddle boats in Wesley Lake, which you can learn more about on their FB page here. Also, don’t forget to check out The Stony Pony, Wonder Bar, and Silverball Retro Arcade when visiting!
