Sea Bright is a narrow Monmouth County borough on the barrier peninsula between the Atlantic Ocean and the Navesink and Shrewsbury rivers, with Highlands to the north, Monmouth Beach to the south and Rumson across the river. Water makes up close to half the borough, and the Sea Bright to Monmouth Beach seawall runs the length of town.

The ocean side has a lifeguarded municipal beach, Anchorage Beach, seven free public access ways and several private beach clubs. Ocean Avenue runs through a small downtown of shops and restaurants, and the new Rumson to Sea Bright Bridge, finished in 2025, crosses to Rumson. Homes are a mix of townhouses, multi-unit buildings and single-family houses, and about 70% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.
