Seawall town between Sea Bright and Long Branch whose row of jetties handles hurricanes, nor'easters and solid lows, best on S to SE swell with a W wind at low to mid tide. Rights run toward the drainage pipe (known locally as the pipe); peel off before you reach it. It gets messy and closes out when swell maxes out.
