Deal Beach, located in Deal, New Jersey, offers a serene and exclusive coastal experience. The beach is lined with nearly two miles of private mansions, creating a unique landscape unlike other Jersey Shore communities. The area is predominantly inhabited by a Syrian-American community, contributing to its distinct cultural identity. Deal Beach is known for its tranquility, with fewer crowds compared to nearby Asbury Park and Long Branch, making it a peaceful retreat for those seeking a more secluded beach experience.
The beach itself is not separated from the ocean by sea walls or promenades, providing an unobstructed view of the Atlantic. This setup also allows surfers to enjoy consistent waves, thanks to the jetties that help stabilize the shoreline.
Deal's history dates back to its naming after the English town of Deal in Kent, reflecting its origins as part of Shrewsbury Township.
