A quiet coastal borough within arm’s reach of Atlantic City

Coastal Beach Historic Scenic Tourism Public Transportation

Positioned at the southern tip of Absecon Island, Longport is a historic and secluded community surrounded on three sides by water. Most famous for its swanky beachfront homes and condos, the local rental market also includes a large number of more suburban-style houses and apartments farther inland.

The community is almost entirely residential, with a couple of small restaurants (Ozzie’s Luncheonette and Catch) serving up everything from fresh seafood to classic diner fare for the locals and the lucky tourists who stray from the higher-traffic parts of the island. Many more shopping and dining options can be found close by in the neighboring town of Margate City, and Atlantic City is just a few miles up the road, offering a world-class selection of dining, gaming, and entertainment.
