Visiting Brick Township

Brick is a year-round Jersey Shore community with much more than a beach day. Visitors can combine ocean swimming, Metedeconk River waterfront parks, boating and fishing, Brick Reservoir, local dining, shopping, community events and quick access to Point Pleasant Beach and other northern Ocean County destinations.

Because Brick stretches from the mainland to a narrow barrier-island section, a car is the easiest way to explore the township's beaches, parks, restaurants, shopping districts and lodging.
