About Cliffwood Beach
Cliffwood Beach is a small waterfront community situated along the Raritan Bay in Monmouth County’s Aberdeen Township. Located just off Route 35, the neighborhood borders Keyport to the east and Laurence Harbor to the west. What began as a summer getaway with modest bungalows back in the 1920s has settled into a quiet, year-round neighborhood of around 3,000 residents.
Living here offers a laid-back coastal routine, with local waterfront parks and scenic paths looking out across the bay. Families are served by the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District, and daily town services are provided by Aberdeen Township. Between the waterfront setting, convenient highway access, and nearby train service in Matawan, it gives commuters and home seekers a calm coastal option in Central Jersey.
