Somers Point Bay Panorama

The Great Egg Harbor Bay Panorama

This camera frames a broad sweep of Great Egg Harbor Bay, the wide tidal estuary that separates Somers Point from the barrier island of Ocean City. The shallow, sheltered waters stretch to a low horizon where distant shorelines and bridges trace the far edge of the bay.

Piers, Docks and the Marina

In the foreground, weathered wooden piers and private docks extend from the Broadway Avenue shoreline, while the slips of a marina shelter moored sailboats and powerboats. It is a working waterfront, a hub for boating, fishing and crabbing on the bay.

Birdlife and the Bay Ecosystem

The calm shallows draw ducks, geese and other waterfowl that feed and raft along the shore, part of the rich estuarine ecosystem that makes this stretch of the New Jersey shore a magnet for birdwatchers.

Somers Point Waterfront

A historic bayside community at the foot of the Route 52 causeway, Somers Point is known for its scenic waterfront, seafood restaurants and easy access to the open bay — all captured in this wide panoramic view.
