From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ocean Drive is a series of local roads in southern New Jersey, connecting Atlantic City to Cape May along barrier islands on the Atlantic Ocean. It is made of the following roads, and includes all five toll bridges owned by the Cape May County Bridge Commission.
- County Route 629, Atlantic City through Ventnor City, Margate City and Longport to the bridge across the Intracoastal Waterway

[edit] Continuations to the north
Route 87 and County Route 638 continues from Atlantic City north to Brigantine, but there is no other access to the mainland from Brigantine. State Route S4A (Great Bay Boulevard) was proposed to head north from Brigantine to Tuckerton. Further north, County Route 607 runs along the length of Long Beach Island, but is only connected to the mainland by one bridge - Route 72 - in the middle of the island. Route 35 begins at Island Beach State Park, connected to the mainland by the Thomas A. Mathis Bridge (Route 37) in Seaside Heights, and then heads north to Point Pleasant Beach, where the barrier island merges with the mainland.
