About

Ocean City: 54th St & Central Ave is a public beach access point in Ocean City, New Jersey, on the beachfront about 2.6 miles from the town of Strathmere. It serves as a street-end entry to the sand rather than a destination with its own trail or route. The access is accessible and has parking. Swimming is not allowed here, so plan on the beach for walking or relaxing rather than getting in the water. A fee is charged. Summer is the warmest stretch to visit, with typical July averages from a nearby weather station in Margate running around 85°F for highs and 71°F for lows. September stays mild at about 78°F by day. The Boardwalk, about 3.3 miles away, is the closest nearby spot to pair with a beach stop.
