Belmar, NJ announces ‘Movies on the Beach’ lineup for summer 2023

Maybe I’m biased because Belmar is my go-to Jersey shore town, but I was especially excited to see the line-up for this summer’s ‘Movies on the Beach’ series.’

Each movie will be shown Wednesdays at dusk, taking place on the 7th Ave. beach. Those in attendance are encouraged to bring their own blankets or beach chairs.

Viewing the movies is free, though there will be snacks for purchase with profits going toward (depending on the date) Belmar Boy Scout Troop 40, the Belmar Community Garden, the Belmar Historical Society, and the Belmar Woman's Club.

Here’s the scheduled lineup with the IMDb plot descriptions:
