Belmar is a borough located on the Jersey Shore in Monmouth County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. As of the 2020 United States census, the borough's population was 5,907,[9][10] an increase of 113 (+2.0%) from the 2010 census count of 5,794,[19][20] which in turn reflected a decline of 251 (−4.2%) from the 6,045 counted in the 2000 census.[21]

What is now Belmar was originally incorporated as Ocean Beach borough by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 9, 1885, from portions of Wall Township, based on the results of a referendum held two days earlier. On April 16, 1889, it became the City of Elcho borough, which lasted for a few weeks until the name was changed to the City of Belmar Borough on May 14, 1889. The city acquired its current name, Borough of Belmar, on November 20, 1890.[22] The borough's name means "beautiful sea" in Italian.[23]
