The orange-colored block-shaped highlighting on the Long Branch beach map shows parking available for the beach. Parking is on-street, at ground-level lots, or in garages, all equipped with state-of-the-art pay stations. On-street parking spaces are mostly pay in summer and free during the off-season. Also available is residential area parking at no cost on streets just west of Ocean Blvd along the entire length of beach. When parking, observe signs and do not park too close to corners to avoid a summons for a parking violation. New Jersey State Statutes prohibit motor vehicle parking within 25 feet of a crosswalk or side line of a street or intersecting highway, within 50 feet of a stop sign, or blocking a driveway (NJ Code Title 39:4-138).
The map has clickable single letter icons, name labels, and photos to indicate Long Branch beach features, including parking lot or garage entrance icons P, snackbar icons S, restroom icons R, beach name labels, or photos of the beach. Click Show Map above or below to see the map and features. When clicking on a map icon or label or photo, TAP QUICKLY on your mobile device for the best response. Also, put your device in sleep mode when not viewing to save power. If you might want to customize the map, there are buttons at the bottom of this page to selectively "Show" or "Hide" map features
When you click an icon or beach name on the map, you have selected it, and a small window opens offering information or web links for that location. A button labeled Show Photos also appears at top left of the screen, which if clicked will call up a portfolio of photos for the selected location. Click Hide Photos to return to the map. If you will be launching your GPS app using the GPS buttons above, you can optionally first click on any icon or name label on the map. When the small window opens, that choice of icon or label is confirmed as your precise GPS destination.

Near Pier Village at Morris Ave. adjacent to the boardwalk there are restroom trailers. At Seaview Ave and at West End Park there are portable toilets.
Showers are located outdoors near most beach entrances on platforms at beach level as you enter or leave the beach. On the map these are indicated by an icon of a showering character.
Sixteen sand volleyball courts are found from just south of the North Bath Ave. entrance up to the Pavilion Ave entrance. There are two sand volleyball courts just south of Laird Ave. entrance, and one sand volleyball court at Pier Village beach.
Six large pirate ship play centers are spaced out along the entire beachfront.
