19th Ave. beach / D'Jais

  • Summary

  • You are at 19th Avenue beach, stop #48 on the Belmar Treasure Trail. Surfers enjoy Belmar’s ocean waves year round and in the summer months, the 19th Avenue beach is dedicated just to those with their boards. Every September, thousands of people come to watch our annual Belmar Pro, where the wave-riding performances get better each year. The Pro features top surfing athletes from Central America, Australia, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Europe, South Africa and all over the United States. Plus, there are always a few local favorites in this fun-filled post-Labor Day surfing extravaganza.

    The tour would not be complete without mentioning D’Jais, the well-known establishment across the street. D’Jais has featured countless entertainers who have gone on to make a name for themselves. But ask co-owner Frank Sementa what happened when he hired a young, aspiring singer-songwriter back in the 70s. Turns out he was so good, that patrons were too busy listening to the music to buy any food or beverages, so Frank had to let the musician go. In case you haven’t already guessed, it was none other than Bruce Springsteen!
