Yachts For Sale In Somers Point

Located on Great Egg Harbor Bay on the South Jersey Shore, this 4-square-mile, mostly residential town, is the oldest settlement in New Jersey’s Atlantic County. Somers Point, named for John Somers, was first settled in 1693, incorporated as a borough in 1886 and then became a city in 1902. Historic Somers Mansion, a 2-story brick house that was built in 1725 by John Somers son, Richard, is the oldest existing home in Atlantic County. It was acquired by the city in 1937 and displays the furnishings and décor of the 18th century and is available for tours. The Historic Bay District is an enclave of over 200 resort-style buildings, seaside cottages, and bungalows of modest size built between 1890 – 1935 when transportation infrastructure facilitated access to the area. This District has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 for the historic significance and the good condition of the buildings.

In fact, the volume of crabbing exceeds recreational fishing catches of bluefish, founder, black sea bass, and striped bass, which are also plentiful in the area.

Other popular crabbing locations are Great Egg Harbor River, Middle River, Tuckahoe River, Tuckahoe-Corbin City Fish & Wildlife Management Area, Peck Bay, Steelman Bay, and Scull Bay.
