Explore Pine Beach, New Jersey, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Pine 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 Pine 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.

Pine Beach maintains a quiet posture upon the landscape, defined by its proximity to the wide, brackish currents of the Toms River. It lies 1.2 miles east of Beachwood, NJ (from Beachwood, NJ: bearing 100°T), and is situated 7.7 miles east-southeast of Ocean County. The air here holds the salt-heavy weight of the Atlantic Ocean, though the water remains five miles distant, separated by the low-lying marshes and the silhouette of Pelican Island. Sunlight filters through the pines with a sharp, clear intensity that emphasizes the flat, sandy soil, while the shadows lengthen toward the horizon where the distant Sandy Ridge is barely a suggestion against the sky. Inland, the landscape softens toward the stillness of Swordens Pond, where the water mirrors the shifting gray and amber of the New Jersey clouds.
Pine Beach bears the legacy of its origins as a summer retreat, its character shaped by a history of seasonal migration and the enduring presence of the Admiral Farragut Academy. The local economy and daily rhythm reflect this maritime heritage, moving in tandem with the tides of the nearby river rather than the hurried pace of the industrial corridors further north. While the Jackson State Forest lies sixteen miles away, the immediate surroundings of Pine Beach retain a sense of seclusion, where the suburban streets are quieted by the persistent hum of the wind. Life here is measured by the changing light on the water and the seasonal shift in the breeze, grounding the locality in a steady, unpretentious existence that favors the slow turn of the year over the clamor of the wider world.

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.
