8th Ave. beach playground

Arrrrrgh mateys! You’re at stop #41 on the Belmar Treasure Trail. Swashbucklers young and old enjoy this Pirate Playground. This is also a good place to talk about our environmental Dune Plantings. As a small town that is surrounded on three sides by water, we are taking sea rise and flooding very seriously. Up and down the boardwalk, we have planted environmentally responsible native species that help keep sand from blowing into the streets during high winds. The plants also help fortify our small dunes, which provide natural coastal protection against storm surge and high waves, reducing coastal flooding and structural damage.
