The northern part of Sea Bright is essentially a narrow strip of land with Route 36 (Ocean Avenue) running through it's middle. Buildings near the bay are on one side with the beach and Atlantic Ocean on the other side. However to get to the beach visitors will need to go over the sea wall using one of the stairways marked for public access. The wall protects the dwellings from the weather that invariably comes through driving higher tides. This makes for quite a drive through town toward Sandy Hook.
