Heavy beachbreaks: wide barrels carved out by the sand dredging. - [Margate Pier](https://yosurf.app/spot/margate-pier): South New Jersey; Beach break / jetée; levels beginner, intermediate; Margate Pier.

Barrels over the outside bank at low tide; it takes the biggest swells around. - [Ship Bottom](https://yosurf.app/spot/ship-bottom): South New Jersey; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate; Ship Bottom on LBI, facing the bridge. It takes any swell direction, but rarely better than an average beachbreak. - [South Carolina Avenue](https://yosurf.app/spot/south-carolina-avenue): South New Jersey; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate; Atlantic City, south of States Avenue. One of the best spots on a big northeast swell; on small days it suits all levels. - [South End](https://yosurf.app/spot/south-end): South New Jersey; Beach break / jetée; levels beginner, intermediate; South end of Ocean City toward 55th Street. The beach collects all the pumped sand; a NE swell is still the best of it. - [Ventnor Pier](https://yosurf.app/spot/ventnor-pier): South New Jersey; Beach break / jetée; levels beginner, intermediate; Ventnor City pier. Longer waves that line up and peel, on all tides: very consistent, and therefore very busy.
