Shark River

Shark River - Looking back from the end of the south jetty — Looking back from the end of the south jetty.

Type:: smallish tidal river inlet with stone jetties or bulkheads on both sides
Depth:: 15 ft

The Shark River is your best bet for shore diving in the northern half of the New Jersey coastline, far better than the Manasquan River. Shark River offers at least four different locations to dive: either side of the inlet, with rock jetties to explore, slightly upstream at A Street in Belmar, and upriver in the back bay area at L Street, Belmar. The wreck of the Malta is also just a few blocks south on the beach, but hardly worth diving.
