On a tiny peninsula tucked away off Somers Point Longport Boulevard is a hidden treasure called Anchorage Poynte, a quarter mile gem that juts out into Ship Channel off Great Egg Harbor Bay.
Imagine a place where amazing sea creatures large and small come to visit. BSea otters, baby seahorses, schools of stingrays, harbor seals and laughing gulls and are some of the delightful sea life awaiting to be discovered at Anchorage Poynte.
Residents enjoy summer days and nights filled with activities ranging from back bay flounder fishing, crabbing, and clamming to kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, sailing, jet skiing, swimming and more. Small boats and kayaks populate the water and the tributaries surrounding Anchorage Poynte. The channel has been newly dredged in 2019.
