Overview

Belmar Marina is the Borough-owned harbor at Shark River Inlet on the New Jersey coast — 400 seasonal slips, 6 public boat-ramp lanes, and the largest single municipal marina on the central Jersey shore. The marina operates on a Memorial-Day-through-Columbus-Day calendar; off-season the basin holds dry-stored vessels and the fueling system winterizes against ice. Channel depth runs 9 ft at the marina basin and the Shark River Inlet bar is maintained at 10 ft by the USACE under a seasonal dredge cycle. The ramp launches free to slip-holders and charges $30 per day to transient launchers; Saturday morning launch lines run 90 minutes deep in July. RV-relevant truth: Belmar's borough ordinance bans overnight RV parking on every public street year-round and the marina lot enforces a strict 7am–10pm car-only policy. Allaire State Park 9 miles west on Route 524 (45 sites, no electric, 40-ft rig cap) is the closest legal overnight RV basecamp.
