Review:
Margate City is a charming Atlantic County city on Absecon Island, which is best known as the home of lively tourist hub Atlantic City.
Though the popular Jersey Shore destination is known as a major tourist area during the summer months for its gorgeous beaches, its lack of high-rise hotels makes it less crowded with one-time visitors and more populated by regulars who rent summer homes and AirBnBs for lower-key stays.
The town stretches for eight blocks along the Atlantic Ocean and is home to lifeguarded beaches throughout the late spring, summer, and early autumn months.
Visitors can view famed sites such as Marven Gardens, noted for its Monopoly fame, and the unique Lucy the Elephant zoomorphic architecture structure, which is more than 130 years old and stands 65 feet tall. Margate City Map
