About
Gardens
Gardens, located between the Great Egg Harbor Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, is a residential and coastal Ocean City neighborhood with bayfront marinas and wide, quiet streets. The character concentrates around the 34th Street Bridge and West Avenue, where bait shops, boat slips, and low-key waterfront hangouts set the pace. Shingle-style beach houses and classic shore cottages sit beside newer builds, many oriented to bay views and sunset decks. The bay side reads as nautical and working-waterfront, while the ocean side turns to dunes and beach paths. Corson’s Inlet State Park frames the southern edge with salt marsh trails and open water.
