Brick, a seaside town, plays host to a variety of river, inlets, creeks and bays that define a way of life, which is truly coastal, and fun loving. In the summer Brick comes to life with an abundance of activities from crabbing and boating to jet skiing and canoeing. In the winter, life slips into a quieter mode, which still reflects a love of coastal life, Brick, established in the 1800's, is no longer a sleepy rural village surrounded by pines but instead, has evolved into a thriving suburban community of near 83,500 residences.
