Margate, NJ Live Cam Looking North to Atlantic City

This wide-angle security camera looks north from 9600 Atlantic Avenue in Margate City, New Jersey, along the coast toward Ventnor and the Atlantic City skyline, streaming live 24 hours a day.

Margate sits on Absecon Island, the same barrier island as Atlantic City, and it is a quieter, family-friendly shore town known for its beaches, restaurants and summer homes. Its most famous resident is Lucy the Elephant, a six-story wooden elephant built in 1881 as a real-estate gimmick and now a National Historic Landmark, standing just a few blocks away on Atlantic Avenue.

From this camera, you can see the coastline stretching north, the bay, and the towers of Atlantic City's casinos and hotels rising along the Boardwalk in the distance. The feed is handy for watching real-time weather, traffic on Atlantic Avenue and ocean conditions along the Jersey Shore.

Summer brings crowds to the beaches and busy streets, especially on weekends and holidays, while winter can bring nor'easters with high winds, rain or snow and rough surf. Sunrises over the ocean and city lights at night are particularly beautiful.

The camera is provided by You Need LED.
