L St. Beach

You are at L Street Beach, stop #11 on the Belmar Treasure Trail. This is a manmade beach that is enjoyed by many visitors to Maclearie Park, which is named for Mayor Peter Maclearie, who was mayor for 20 years from 1947 to 1967, and before that served 12 years as a Commissioner. If you come here towards the end of the day, you will be treated to one of the most spectacular sunsets on the eastern seaboard. And if you visit L Street Beach in May or June, you may get to see hundreds of horseshoe crabs that flock to the beach for their annual spawning ritual. It is one of only a handful of spawning sites on the eastern seaboard for these amazing ancient creatures.
