The Toms River beach section, covered
Ortley Beach is the oceanfront strip of Toms River Township, a barrier-island beach neighborhood of summer rentals and year-round homes, rebuilt and busier than ever since Sandy, sitting right in the middle of the island between Seaside Heights and Lavallette. Getting to the airport from here means crossing the bay back to the Toms River mainland and up to the Parkway, and in summer it means working around island traffic. Bruno Rides handles all of it: reliable, 24/7 airport runs and commutes, timed so you're never cutting it close.
We know the beach blocks off Route 35 and the streets down by the ocean, so pickups are quick, and because we also serve mainland Toms River, we know the fastest way across the bay and out to the highways.

Rides Ortley Beach residents ask us for
End-of-rental airport runs
The Saturday that ends a beach week with a flight home is a classic Ortley trip. We stage the pickup to clear the island early and get you to EWR or PHL without the afternoon crush.
Early departures, off-season
Once summer winds down, the pre-dawn run is quick: across the bay, up the Parkway, and on time, every time.
Commutes and scheduled rides
Beyond the airport, we run standing commuter trips to work or the train, with round-trip bundles that save both ways.
