Margate Fishing Pier Surf Cam Looking North to Atlantic City
About this camera
This SeeThisView surf cam looks north from the Margate Fishing Pier toward Atlantic City, New Jersey, giving a view of the waves along Absecon Island with the casino skyline on the horizon.
Margate City is a quiet, upscale beach town on Absecon Island, between Ventnor City and Longport, just south of Atlantic City. It is best known as the home of Lucy the Elephant, a six-story wooden elephant built in 1881 to attract buyers to the area, and now a National Historic Landmark that visitors can climb inside. Margate's beaches are popular with families, and its dock bars and restaurants on the bay side buzz in summer.
The fishing pier draws anglers year-round for striped bass, bluefish, kingfish and summer flounder. The waves along this stretch, shaped by the jetties and sandbars, attract surfers when swells arrive, especially in late summer and autumn during hurricane season and in winter with nor'easters. The camera lets surfers check the conditions, and anyone else can enjoy the sight of Atlantic City's towers rising beyond the beach.
Summer is the busiest season, while winter brings empty beaches and dramatic storms. Sunrise over the ocean is a highlight. New Jersey uses Eastern Time.
