Somers Point sits at the crossroads of Routes 9 and 52, serving as the mainland gateway to Ocean City via the 9th Street Bridge. This bayside city combines convenient shore access with its own vibrant waterfront scene along Bay Avenue.
The Bay Avenue strip is legendary among shore visitors, featuring waterfront bars, restaurants, and nightlife that rivals any beach town. With boat ramps, marinas, and direct access to Great Egg Harbor Bay, Somers Point is also a hub for boating, fishing, and crabbing. It offers a more affordable alternative to staying on the barrier islands while being just minutes from Ocean City's famous boardwalk.
