The Short Take

Pier Village and the Beachfront At A Glance

The city names "Beachfront North and South (including Pier Village)" among its distinct neighborhoods. Pier Village is a 16-acre mixed-use community on the ocean that opened in 2005 on the site of the old Long Branch Pier.

The city's Oceanfront-Broadway redevelopment plan divides the oceanfront into sectors: Pier/Village Center, Beachfront North, Hotel Campus, Beachfront South and, in its updated version, Lower Broadway.
