Welcome to the Borough of Bradley Beach
Bradley Beach is a unique oceanfront and family community located on the Jersey Shore home to friendly residents and welcoming to visitors and businesses. As a small but diverse town, our Bradley Beach municipality seeks to offer the best quality of life, civic engagement, great services in a caring and inclusive environment.
A History of Bradley Beach
Between Duck Creek (Sylvan Lake) and Goose Pond (Fletcher Lake), the land that would become Bradley Beach was mostly a dense scrub pine forest running up to the beach. Indigenous Lenape tribes seasonally took shellfish and fish from the coast, following the streams from their main trail four miles inland. In colonial times it was part of Shrewsbury township, then Ocean Township, with a few farms. Other than beachcombers, fishermen and oystermen, the coast was empty.
Community Resources for Bradley Beach Families
This is an urgent communication to alert recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that their monthly benefits will be temporarily suspended or delayed due to the federal government’s action. The letter serves as a critical resource guide, providing clear, actionable information on where to find immediate food assistance and support in the community to bridge the gap in benefits. It includes a comprehensive list of local food banks, pantries, soup kitchens, meal programs for children and seniors, and other non-profit organizations. The letter from the Borough’s Recreation Director aims to reduce panic and connect vulnerable families with emergency relief.
