More info: Like much of Absecon Island and the Jersey Shore, Margate is known for its beaches and coastal area. In the summer months, surfers, kayakers, swimmers and water sport enthusiasts all flock to the beach.
The area now known as Margate City used to be called South Atlantic City but was renamed in 1897 after Margate in Kent, England.
The Angler’s Club of Absecon Island is located in Margate and is a members’ only, non-profit fishing club which was established in 1923
