The Margate Bridge is privately owned, in contrast to many other bridges that are managed and…read moremaintained by the government. It connects Atlantic City's "Downbeach" neighborhood to the mainland by traversing wetlands and a bay. Three fixed spans and one double-leaf bridge make up the causeway. The bridge was built in 1932 and collected tolls until it was forced to close because of financial difficulties. It was reopened in 1939 as the Margate Bridge Company, which ran it until 1964. The Margate Bridge stock was put up for sale at that time in Federal Court. The Margate Bridge was purchased by the Capaldi and Hansen families, who made the highest offer. In the State of New Jersey, there are just three privately owned toll bridges. The toll to cross the bridge is $2.25. I paid cash but they do offer an express card service for frequent travelers that discounts the toll to $1.65. [Review 18261 overall - 135 in New Jersey - 1783 of 2022.]

Cool little residential town. Few clumps of shops, restaurants and bars but mostly a seasonal town…read moreof families and beach goers. The dream of owning a "shore" home was shared by many Philadelphians. The population quadruples Thursday to Sunday during June through August. Not a town of weekly rentals but rather monthly or seasonal renters mixed with many owners who occupy there homes mostly in the summer months and occasionally weekends during the remainder of the year. The beaches are beautiful, well maintained and guarded. The families and beach goers are friendly. Byo food of drink as there is not a boardwalk or commercial entities on the beach except the rolling ice cream man. Great place to bring your family. Some nightlife west along the bay or at Ventnor Coffee. Right next door is the the lovely Ventnor Boardwalk and a stones throw to Atlantic City or Ocean City. Margate's the Best!

I've heard of Lucy the Elephant for years, she has a lot of History and has been around since the…read more20th Century. I didn't know she was so close to Atlantic City about 5 miles. She was closed today so we couldn't take the tour. But I got some nice outside pictures. She's big and colorful and stands out amongst the Neighborhood.

My family and I loved our visit on 3/14/2026. We walked across the street to the gift shop to…read morepurchase tickets. The gentleman who helped us was super friendly and inquired if there were any military in the group. Military get free entry. We took the 11:00 am tour with Cayden who was super knowledgeable about the history of Lucy. Looking from the outside I am not sure what I expected to be inside but it wasn't what I saw. It was beautiful old wood, staircases and some shadowboxes containing some items from her history. We got to walk all the way to the top for a few minutes before receiving a card with a coupon for some other local attractions. I would definitely recommended stopping by if you haven't before. It is free to walk around her but $9.00 for an adult to take the tour. Worth it in my opinion especially when you realize all of the funds go to her upkeep which takes a lot of work!

What more can we ask for?

Rudest customer service ever! We were yelled at for asking to borrow the priority tape for our…read morepriority package. We travel a lot and every post office in all the different states we have been to have allowed us to do so. Except this one. We were yelled at saying the policy changed three years ago and how all the other post offices are wrong. The tirent, Bernadette, then bathed how she is the shop steward and how she always has to correct people on this. I don't give a rat's ass who you are, don't yell at me. A simple sorry we no longer give out would have sufficed. We also over heard her complain to a customer that she can not lift heavy things because she just had surgery and continued with her grumpiness. It is no the customer's fault you came back to work too soon. Perhaps a job where you do not lift or deal with customers would suit her better.

How this beach bum has never been to Ventnor before today is beyond me!…read more Pretty and quaint, with jaw dropping homes. No shops on their small boardwalk, but hell - saves me money . You need beach tags but we had a hook up's on loan. Clean bathrooms close by to the beach - bonus! A decent amount of restaurants. We enjoyed the quiet at the shore for a change.

Stopped by last night hoping to get some sunset photos from the Ventnor City Fishing Pier but was a…read morelittle late and decided to take a walk out on the Pier. Beautiful, specious and clean. Rest rooms were available and we're well maintained. Halfway out, there was a booth manned by a very friendly and informative lady. I thought there might be a charge to enter the furthest section but she explained they charge a fee for Fishing and allowed me in to explore and take some photos. She also explained the types of fish caught in the area and they also would see porpoise and some whales. Great night at Ventnor City Fishing Pier. Also, a block away was St. John's by The Sea - very nice, well kept church
