NEWARK, NJ — Families traveling to the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Belmar on Sunday, March 4 are in luck!  NJ TRANSIT is offering extra rail service on the North Jersey Coast Line between Long Branch and Bay Head to accommodate parade-goers—and, kids 11 and younger travel free on weekends with each fare-paying adult.

 

Eleven additional rail trips—five northbound and six southbound—will result in convenient, hourly service from Bay Head to Long Branch throughout the day.

 

Every train operating between Long Branch and Bay Head stops at Belmar.  Customers traveling from points north of Long Branch, including Newark and New York, should transfer across the platform at Long Branch Station to continue their trip.  Service between New York and Long Branch will operate on a regular weekend schedule.
