Following this, CR 520 continues past more housing developments and curves to the east, becoming Newman Springs Road. The road crosses Route 79 and runs through a mix of fields and woods with some homes, heading to the east-northeast. The route becomes the border between Marlboro Township to the north and Colts Neck Township to the south as it heads more to the east.^[1]^[2]

CR 520 crosses Willow Brook into

CR 13, CR 520 narrows to two lanes and passes businesses as it separates Red Bank to the north and Shrewsbury to the south. The road crosses the Southern Secondary railroad line operated by the Delaware and Raritan River Railroad and continues east to an intersection with Route 35.^[1]^[2]

At this point, CR 520 turns north for a brief

CR 11 continuing north on Broad Street. CR 520 runs through wooded residential areas and leaves Red Bank for Little Silver. At an intersection with another segment of CR 11, the route turns southeast onto Branch Avenue. CR 520 turns northeast onto Rumson Road and CR 11 continues along Branch Avenue. The road passes more homes and continues into Rumson. CR 520 continues northeast and passes to the north of Rumson Country Club. Farther east, the route curves to the east and crosses the Shrewsbury River via the Rumson–Sea Bright Bridge into Sea Bright. Immediately after the bridge, CR 520 reaches its eastern terminus at an intersection with Route 36 near the Atlantic Ocean.^[1]^[2]
