Margate Beach is a beautiful, wide beach southwest of Atlantic City, New Jersey, that is family-friendly and generally not overcrowded, making for a serene, pleasant experience. Beach inspectors ensure that the beach is as safe and accessible for everyone as possible.
Beach Badges are required for visiting the beach from the third week in June to Labour Day, except on “Thrilling Thursdays,” and are sold starting April 1 at the Martin Bloom Community Pavilion as well as at The Municipal Building. Badges are free for the military and can also be reserved through the post and picked up at a later time.

What are the highlights of Margate Beach in Atlantic City?
Margate Beach provides lifeguards from Memorial Day to Labour Day and at other times throughout the year when the weather permits. The beach’s management takes great care in keeping the beach clean so that the oceanfront by city centre Atlantic City and Jefferson Avenue remains as beautiful as ever.
Kayaking, surfing, sailing, and many other ocean sports are commonly enjoyed at the beach, but you'll also find ample areas and opportunities for relaxation. If the tide and weather permit, you can take a lovely stroll down the Jersey shore or have a scenic picnic with your family, with food available for delivery nearby.
What else is good to know about Margate Beach in Atlantic City?
Margate Beach is as wheelchair-accessible as can be, with mats to improve mobility over the sand. Transport is available over the dunes for those with physical difficulties but without specialised mobility equipment, so long as 30 minutes of notice is provided before 4:30pm. Service animals are the only animals permitted at the beach.
Margate Beach is near Lucy the Elephant, which is the oldest novelty structure and roadside attraction in America, and the Ocean City Boardwalk, where you can find a variety of dining as well as entertainment options.
