Longport rewards those who crave a quieter stretch of shore. Set at the southern tip of Absecon Island, it offers wide, well-kept beaches, a scenic seawall for sunrise strolls, and quick access to neighboring towns—bike to Margate City for coffee, head up-island to Atlantic City for entertainment, or cross the JFK Memorial Bridge to Ocean City for a classic boardwalk day. Residents appreciate small-town services managed by the Borough of Longport and the easy pace that defines life in Atlantic County.
Families benefit from a strong K–12 path. Longport’s K–8 students attend the acclaimed Margate City School District, known for small classes, robust arts, and competitive sports. Most teens continue to Atlantic City High School, which offers extensive AP courses, vocational partnerships, and standout athletics, all within a manageable commute.
On the recreation side, locals fish the Point jetty, launch kayaks in calm back bays, and gather for summer concerts, library programs, and holiday parades. The seawall and compact street grid make walking and cycling effortless, while seasonal lifeguards and beach amenities keep oceanside days simple. Dining ranges from beloved neighborhood institutions to upscale waterfront spots just beyond town, with year-round conveniences minutes away.
