City in east-central New Jersey, on the Atlantic Ocean, 8 km/5 mi north of Asbury Park; population (2000) 31,300. It is a popular summer resort, with a 3-km/2-mi-long boardwalk, beaches, surf fishing, and the oceanfront Seven Presidents Park. Boats, clothing, and electronic products are manufactured.
