How to Use This Avon-by-the-Sea, New Jersey Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Avon-by-the-Sea, New Jersey. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of New Jersey or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Avon-by-the-Sea.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Avon-by-the-Sea, New Jersey

ZIP code: 07717.Avon-by-the-Sea defines itself by the slow, deliberate pulse of the Atlantic Ocean, where the salt-heavy air clings to the shingles of quiet residential streets. It lies 1.3 miles south-southeast of Neptune, NJ (from Neptune, NJ: bearing 154°T), and is situated 7.3 miles southeast of Monmouth. The Shark River exerts a constant, subtle pull on the landscape, its tidal currents guiding the horizon toward the low silhouette of Shark River Island, which sits a mile away as a solitary anchor in the water. At the edge of the shoreline, the green expanse of Lakeside offers a measured transition from the manicured lawns of the neighborhood to the wild, shifting sands of the beach. The light here at dusk possesses a peculiar, pearlescent quality, softening the sharp lines of the jetties and casting a long, amber glow over the water that seems to hold the day in a state of suspension.
History permeates the architecture of Avon-by-the-Sea, evident in the preserved Victorian structures that stand against the relentless erosion of salt and wind. While the local economy has transitioned from its early reliance on seasonal maritime activity to a more settled, year-round residential character, the influence of the water remains the primary motor of daily life. Residents and visitors alike navigate the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean with a practiced ease, moving between the docks and the shore as if participating in a long-standing, unspoken ritual. Even the distant, hazy rise of Lippincort Hill, seven miles inland, serves only to frame the flatness of the coast, reinforcing the sense that everything of consequence happens here, where the land finally yields to the tide.

About This Avon-by-the-Sea Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Avon-by-the-Sea, New Jersey. Coordinates: 40.192336, -74.01597. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Avon-by-the-Sea includes the ZIP code (07717), telephone area code (732, 848), county seat of Monmouth County (Freehold), and school district assignment (Avon-by-the-Sea Borough School District).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
