How to Use This Seaside Heights, New Jersey Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Seaside Heights, 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 Seaside Heights.
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 Seaside Heights, New Jersey
Seaside Heights is a locality in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. It has a population of approximately 2,440. The population density is 1526.9 people per km². Seaside Heights is located at 39.9443°N, 74.0729°W. It observes the Eastern Time (America/New_York) timezone. Seaside Heights is an incorporated locality. ZIP code: 08751.Seaside Heights occupies a narrow, sandy strip of land where the salt-heavy air carries the perpetual resonance of the Atlantic Ocean. It lies 5.4 miles northeast of Berkeley, NJ (from Berkeley, NJ: bearing 55°T), and is situated 6.7 miles east of Toms River. The landscape is defined by the shifting dunes and the wide, expansive Beach Access that anchors the eastern edge of the peninsula, offering an unobstructed view of the horizon where the sky bleeds into the tides. To the west, the salt marshes provide a quiet, muddy boundary before the waters of Toms River meander through the nearby landscape, creating a delicate balance between the churning surf and the stiller, brackish flows. Far to the west, the faint, hazy silhouette of Sandy Ridge might be discerned on the clearest of days, a distant promise of elevation that contrasts with the flat, low-lying character of the immediate terrain.
Seaside Heights emerged from the shifting sands as a destination for seasonal migration, its economy built upon the transient joy of the summer months and the enduring appeal of the boardwalk’s neon glow. The commerce here relies heavily on the rhythm of the tides and the influx of visitors who flock to the shoreline to experience the density of a place that feels simultaneously anchored and adrift. Beyond the immediate bustle, the geography remains shaped by the proximity of Harbor Island, which sits a mile away as a reminder of the intricate network of channels that define this coast. In the quiet off-season, when the crowds recede, the local character reveals a different texture, one defined by the resilience of a small, working-class population that maintains the infrastructure of a place perpetually exposed to the elements.

About This Seaside Heights Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Seaside Heights, New Jersey. Coordinates: 39.944285, -74.072914. 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 Seaside Heights includes the ZIP code (08751), telephone area code (732, 848), county seat of Ocean County (Toms River), and school district assignment (Central Regional 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.
