Margate Beach: Jefferson Avenue

Nice beach. Very clean and more family oriented compared to A.C. or Ventnor. Lifeguards were on duty every so distance and beach patrol keeping an eye out. My only issues are that there are no public restrooms anywhere nearby. In fact we asked a peach patrol person and they directed us to a community center over a half mile away which may or may not be open. So I guess that if you're going to be spending the day at the beach, hold it in 😒. The other thing is that during the summer, you need beach tags. OK,no problem. I bought 4 tags through the "My Beach Mobile" app which gives you a QR code that beach patrol scans upon entry. Well, no one even looked at my tag or much less scanned it. The girl at the entry asked if I had one and that was it. Her eyes were mostly in her phone the whole time. Later I saw other people entering the beach without getting stopped or showing tags so I guess it's arbitrary. Theres no difference between the people who paid and the people who didn't. If you're going to enforce beach tags, it should be enforced for everyone.

Such an iconic tourist spot. Even the gift shop is worth a visit and has great souvenirs. Recommend to locals and visitors. Great location by beach. Parking is limited.

The beach is very beautiful and quite a bit of sea life. I liked that the beach was cleaner and waves were higher. We will definitely be back!

Oohhhh... it's so worth it! Margaret Beach is absolutely stunning. The sand is beautifully clean, the water is also clear, and the sun is wonderfully warm. It's the perfect place to relax and enjoy the natural beauty. Whether you're looking to sunbathe, swim, or simply take a leisurely stroll along the shore, this beach has it all. Highly recommended!

Not too cold for a run on the beach! Jan 6, 2018 18 degrees in beautiful Margate today!
