Ocean City: Beach Rd & Morningside Rd
About
Ocean City: Beach Rd & Morningside Rd is a public beach access point in New Jersey, set along the beachfront about 2.3 miles from Longport. It is a place to reach the sand rather than a destination with a route, and the setup is simple: the access is accessible, and parking is available. Summer is the warmest stretch. Typical July averages from the nearby Margate weather station run to a high of about 85°F and a low near 71°F. September stays mild, with typical highs around 78°F. Swimming is not allowed at this access, so plan on walking or relaxing on the beach instead. A fee is charged. For more to do close by, the Boardwalk is about 2.7 miles away, and Tanaka's Bly Tower, a climbing area, sits roughly 9.6 miles off.
