How to Use This Bradley Beach, New Jersey Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Bradley Beach, 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 Bradley Beach.
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.

ZIP code: 07720.Bradley Beach commands a stretch of the shoreline where the salt-heavy air clarifies the edges of every wooden porch and shingled roof. It lies 3.4 miles east-northeast of Hopewell Mercer County, NJ (from Hopewell Mercer County, NJ: bearing 68°T), and is situated 7.4 miles north-northeast of Mercer. The landscape maintains a flat, deliberate posture, defined by the relentless pulse of the Atlantic Ocean that batters the sand with a rhythmic, percussive force. To the immediate north, the calm, glassy surface of Fletcher Lake offers a meditative contrast to the turbulent surf, its stillness acting as a mirror for the coastal sky. Beyond the immediate perimeter, the terrain remains low and unassuming, though on exceptionally clear days, the faint, hazy suggestion of the Mount Pleasant Hills marks the distant horizon like a jagged ink stroke against the pale blue.
Bradley Beach evolved from a quiet Victorian destination into a resilient enclave, its economy tethered to the seasonal tide of visitors who gravitate toward the Bradley Beach Borough Beach or Boardwalk. The local character is defined by a modest, working-class endurance, far removed from the frantic pace of larger urban centers, yet connected to the wider region by the nearby flow of the Shark River. To the south, the presence of Shark River Island serves as a silent sentinel in the waterway, a reminder of the shifting maritime geography that has shaped the region for generations. Life here moves in a measured, predictable cycle, dictated by the turning of the seasons and the persistent, brine-scented breeze that defines the identity of Bradley Beach.

About This Bradley Beach Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Bradley Beach, New Jersey. Coordinates: 40.202336, -74.012081. 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 Bradley Beach includes the ZIP code (07720), telephone area code (732, 848), county seat of Monmouth County (Freehold), and school district assignment (Bradley Beach 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.
