Shark River Inlet, Natural waterway in Monmouth County, New Jersey.
The inlet connects the Atlantic Ocean with Shark River between the coastal towns of Belmar and Avon-by-the-Sea in eastern New Jersey.
The area received multiple names through time, from Nolletquesset by Lenni Lenape Indians in 1686 to White Creek in 1812 on New Jersey maps.
A network of ten marinas along the inlet maintains New Jersey maritime traditions through fishing charters and recreational boating activities.
The Ocean Avenue Bascule Bridge, with a vertical clearance of nine feet when closed, rises multiple times daily for boats to pass through.
The inlet forms the only direct water connection to the Atlantic Ocean in Monmouth County, while nearby rivers flow into Sandy Hook Bay.
