Ocean City NJ Fishing Pier Cam Looking South to 15th Street

This SeeThisView camera looks south from the Ocean City Fishing Pier toward 15th Street in Ocean City, New Jersey, along one of the classic stretches of the Jersey Shore.

Ocean City sits on a barrier island in Cape May County, between Great Egg Harbor Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It was founded in 1879 by Methodist ministers as a Christian seaside resort, and it has remained a dry town, with no alcohol sold, which helps give it its reputation as America's Greatest Family Resort. Its famous boardwalk runs for about two and a half miles, lined with arcades, amusement rides, fudge and saltwater taffy shops, pizza and the Ocean City Music Pier.

From the pier, the camera takes in the beach, the waves and the shoreline stretching south. Anglers cast lines for striped bass, bluefish and summer flounder, surfers and swimmers fill the water in summer, and lifeguards keep watch from their stands. Off-season, the beach is quiet and wild, and winter nor'easters can bring big surf and dramatic skies.

Summer, from Memorial Day to Labor Day, is the busiest time. Sunrise over the ocean is a highlight.
