About Sea Girt, NJ

Sea Girt is a small oceanfront borough — and one of the Shore's most quietly expensive towns. The anchor landmark is the Sea Girt Lighthouse (built 1896), still lit and open for tours (source), and the borough hosts the National Guard Militia Museum of New Jersey at the National Guard Training Center, with Monument Park beside it (source). The beach is private-membership (a defining Sea Girt fact), the streets are shaded and orderly, and the housing stock runs from grand oceanfront estates to classic shore colonials. The borough borders Manasquan and Spring Lake, sharing their downtown and beach culture while keeping its own low-key identity. Buyers here pay for prestige, order, and the beach — not for nightlife.
