Mantoloking Bridge County Park — Attraction in Brick Township

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hidden Gem Along the Manasquan River!

Absolutely love this park! Mantoloking Bridge County Park is one of those perfectly peaceful spots that locals are lucky to have right in their backyard. The park sits beautifully along the Manasquan River with stunning water views that make you forget you're still in Ocean County.

The fishing here is fantastic - I've had great luck catching striped bass, fluke, and blues right from the bulkhead. The fishing pier is well-maintained and there's plenty of space for everyone. Even if you're not fishing, it's a wonderful spot to just sit and watch the boats go by.

What really sets this park apart is how clean and well-kept everything is. The grounds are always neat, the restrooms are maintained, and there's ample parking. The walking paths are perfect for a morning stroll or evening walk, and the benches scattered throughout give you plenty of spots to sit and enjoy the river breeze.

Perfect for families - I've brought my kids here countless times. They love watching the boats, and there's enough open space for them to run around safely. The park has a nice mix of sunny and shaded areas, so you can find your perfect spot no matter the weather.

The location is unbeatable - easy to get to from Route 35, but once you're here, it feels like a world away from the busy roads. Whether you're looking for a quiet place to read, a scenic spot for photos, or just want to decompress after a long day, this park delivers.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a slice of tranquility along the Jersey Shore. This park proves you don't need to travel far to find...

Since Sandy they used funds to make this little place by the. Bridge a nice place for a family outting. Although last night was a slight rain it was so warm out the nobody cared about the rain and in a strange way it was quite refreshing. Although the bathrooms close after dark there is a conscience store a short ways always if you really had to go and you have to buy something to go. This isn't there rule lol I guess I'm old school and when we were growing up that's what you did. Well caught 14 keepers all legal size and bigger in about 3 hours. I personally like going at night solely personal preference on that less crowded. Been there also during the day but can't stand the heat but if your lucky you can get a spot under the bride they have a nice set up pinch table and you can get on the old bridge that they left a big part up so people can fish and crab off it. There isn't a charge to fish or crab. Also if crabbing turns out to be a bust there is a seafood store/mini restaurant less than a half mile. It's called the CRAB SHACK. Also has a bathroom and only open during the day. Either way loads of fun for all if your into it lol not for the ARE YOU KIDDING ME CROWD THAT STINKS AND I'M NEVER TOUCHING THAT. Haha as always hope this helped and you all have a wonderful safe and blessed outting. Your friend and neighbor Jim Liik ps left a few pictures from last night and also from the last time we went on the...

This place has been redone after Sandy destroyed the area. Now they made it family friendly. It's a little park like now. They have handicapped parking and the restroom is clean and opened until sundown. There is no alcoholic beverage allowed. There is no vending area but not far away is a 7Eleven. There are tables for you to be with your family but it is limited and it's first come first serve to get a spot. There is plenty of parking and the view is nice. If you catch the timing right you can see the fireworks from Point Pleasant as I did one night I'll post a short video if it lets me. Well hope this help. Have fun and be safe. Jim Liik. PS Sorry tried to post the video of the fireworks but couldn't maybe next...
