Unfortunately where the PNC is located along the Garden State Parkway is before the parkway runs really close to the shore, but not far.
Closest decent sized beach would probably be Sandy Hook which is located between Highlands and Sea Bright. Next "beach" community would be Long Branch. Those would the closest beaches to where the PNC is located. Really don't know the hotels/motels around there BUT you can be sure that they are probably expensive (weekend during beach season) or booked (same reason), so I would certainly check sooner than later.
Not sure about places to stay near the PNC - it is not exactly in a town like most venues.
