Neptune Township stretches from the Atlantic Ocean west to the Garden State Parkway in Monmouth County, with the Shark River estuary on its southern edge. It includes Ocean Grove, the seaside community founded in 1869 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its Victorian architecture and the Great Auditorium, along with Shark River Hills, Mid-Town, Bradley Park, the Gables, Seaview Island and West Neptune.

Housing ranges from Ocean Grove's Victorian cottages and tent cottages near the beach to riverside streets in Shark River Hills and neighborhoods farther west toward the Route 66 commercial corridor. Jersey Shore University Medical Center is in the township, and Ocean Grove has its own boardwalk, beach and fishing pier.
