These are both towns on the mainland too, not beach towns which was pretty surprising.

According to APP, Red Bank in Monmouth County is the first town that you'll want to look into retiring to if you want to stay in Jersey.

Your other option would be to retire to Toms River!

APP reports that Toms River made one of the top slots for best places in the USA to retire.

It's close to beaches, and medical centers, has a lot to do in terms of food, entertainment, and relaxation, and is still mildly affordable. Emphasis on mildly!
