Welcome to The Inn at the Shore

A classic Jersey Shore inn with modern comforts and genuine hospitality

Since 1880, guests have come to our quiet corner of Belmar, New Jersey for one simple reason - it feels good to be here. We offer six unique, well-appointed guest rooms, with multi-room suite options available. We have comfortable, spacious common areas, a wide wrap-around porch, and Innkeepers who truly care about you and your experience. Our bed and breakfast offers the perfect blend of warmth, charm, and old school hospitality. Whether you’re here to unwind, reconnect, or celebrate something special, you’ll find a place that feels like home — only better.

Steps from the Beach, Close to Everything

The best of Belmar is right outside your door

Just two blocks from the beach and boardwalk, an easy stroll from downtown Belmar’s restaurants, shops, and nightlife — and only minutes from Asbury Park and countless Jersey Shore attractions — our location couldn’t be more convenient. Our Victorian-style inn is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood of north Belmar, surrounded by beautiful Silver Lake, Shark River, and the ocean. Wide tree-lined streets and many Victorian homes of the same era are all around us. You can relax on our porch, listen to the waves, and still be close to all the fun. Beach passes, towels, chairs, and umbrellas are included — because your vacation should be simple.

With decades in the hospitality industry, they offer more than just friendliness - they bring professional care and attention to every detail. From dinner recommendations to local tips or just a good chat on the porch, Linda & Bill are always nearby when you need them.

    Five years since my last visit, but the amazing hospitality offered by Linda and Bill was more than worth the wait. I have traveled most of the world, staying at 5 star hotels and quaint and friendly B&Bs. The breakfast here is the best I've had in all of my travels. Looking forward to returning as often as I can. Thanks for everything!

Breakfast, Your Way

Cooked to order, never rushed, always delicious.

At The Inn At The Shore, breakfast is something special. Bill, a seasoned chef, prepares each meal to order - from classic eggs and bacon to indulgent waffles, omelets, or Eggs Benedict - no menu, just guests' requests. There's no fixed seating time; come down when you're ready anytime between 8 and 10am. We want you to relax, enjoy your morning, and savor a truly gourmet start to your day.
