💡 Tips

Longport is strictly residential; for dining and nightlife, you will need to head north to neighboring Margate or Atlantic City.
Street parking is very limited and heavily enforced during the summer; pay close attention to all parking signs.
Beach tags are required during the summer season to access the sand; you can purchase them from beach inspectors.
Head to 'The Point' at the very southern tip of the island for the best views of the ocean meeting the bay.
