Lake Como is a Monmouth County borough of about a quarter square mile, bordered by Belmar, Spring Lake, Spring Lake Heights and Wall Township. It was formed as South Belmar in 1924 and took the name Lake Como in 2005, after the lake that forms its southern edge, shared with Spring Lake.

The lakeside path runs through the Denman, Fisher, and Perkins Memorial Park, dedicated in 1950. Bar Anticipation is on 16th Avenue, Joe's Surf Shack on 18th Avenue and McCann's Tavern on Main Street, and the borough holds a Wednesday farmers market. Belmar's North Jersey Coast Line station is about 0.6 miles from the borough center, and the nearest ocean beaches are Belmar's and Spring Lake's.
