Spring Lake, New Jersey

Spring Lake is a compact Monmouth County shore borough known for its lake, oceanfront boardwalk and beach, historic resort architecture, walkable Third Avenue business district, community institutions and year-round residential character. NJTGO keeps Spring Lake Borough separate from neighboring Spring Lake Heights even when nearby businesses use the same 07762 mailing area.
