Facility Overview
The parking facility located at 110 Ocean Ave N in Long Branch, New Jersey, is situated in the heart of the vibrant Jersey Shore community. This location primarily serves the bustling beachfront district, offering essential access to the nearby Pier Village. As an open-air surface environment, the lot is designed for high-turnover accessibility, comfortably accommodating standard passenger vehicles, SUVs, and light trucks. Because it is a surface-level lot, there are no vertical clearance restrictions, making it an excellent choice for drivers of taller vehicles or those with roof-mounted cargo carriers that would otherwise be unable to navigate traditional multi-level parking garages.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This parking site is strategically positioned for visitors looking to enjoy the coastal lifestyle. The lot is within a short walking distance of:
- Pier Village: A premier oceanfront destination featuring boutique shopping, upscale dining, and family-friendly entertainment, reachable within a 2-5 minute walk.
- Long Branch Beach: Access to the pristine sandy shores of the Atlantic Ocean is immediate, making this an ideal spot for beachgoers and sun-seekers.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are facilitated directly via Ocean Avenue. During peak summer weekends or event days, traffic along the coastline can be heavy; however, the lot layout is optimized for efficient flow. For those utilizing public transit, the Long Branch NJ Transit train station is located approximately 1.5 miles away, with local bus lines providing connectivity to the beachfront.
