Longport occupies the southern tip of Absecon Island, offering an unexpected combination: upscale homes and uncrowded beaches at the Jersey Shore's lowest daily badge price of just $5.
This small, affluent community maintains pristine beaches without the crowds found at neighboring towns. The lack of commercial development and limited public facilities keep visitor numbers low, creating a peaceful beach experience.
Longport's dog beach on the bay side allows year-round canine access. The town's historical society offers glimpses into the area's past, and the inlet views at the southern end provide excellent fishing and sunset watching.
