Monmouth County, New Jersey

Monmouth Location Map New Jersey

Monmouth County is along the Jersey Shore, just south of New York City. It has beaches and horse farms, mansions and Main Streets. The Shore is a big draw here. History runs deep in these parts. Freehold, the county seat, has buildings dating back to the 1700s.

From Sandy Hook to Asbury Park, there’s a beach for every taste. Speaking of Asbury Park, it’s had quite the comeback. Bruce Springsteen cut his teeth in its clubs, and now it’s a hip destination again. But Monmouth isn’t just about the coast. Head inland and you’ll hit horse country.

Monmouth has some quirky claims to fame too. Ever heard of the Keansburg Amusement Park? It’s one of the oldest in the country. From the Twin Lights lighthouse to the PNC Bank Arts Center, Monmouth County is a slice of Jersey that has it all. Colts Neck and its surroundings are full of sprawling equestrian estates.
