Somers Point is a mainland shore city where historic Bay Avenue, marinas, neighborhood streets, medical services and the Route 9 commercial corridor meet the Great Egg Harbor Bay. It serves as both a year-round community and a gateway to the barrier-island shore.
Somers Point combines an old waterfront center with busy mainland shopping corridors, established residential neighborhoods, major healthcare services and a strong restaurant-and-marina economy. The city’s identity is shaped as much by the bay as by the roads leading toward Ocean City and the rest of the Jersey Shore.
