Row to Reach Longport
Longport is connected with Atlantic City Jjy an electric railroad, open observation cars
running every five minutes during the suntmer season : also by the Longport driveway, on which
niav be seen dailv fine equiiiages and automobiles in great number speeding between Longport
and Atlantic City. Both tn>lle\- line and driveway have the uni(|ue characteristic of extending
nearly all the way beside, and in sight of the ocean. They also give to Longport the facilities of
the best markets in the huul.
The Pennsylvania Railmad Company, which controls the trolley line, maintains a serv-
ice of fast steamers between Longport and Ocean Cit\-; and boats, owned by the Sea Bay Trans-
jxirtation Company, ply between Longport and Somer's Point.
CClatcr Supply and Drainage
Longport is supplied with an abunilancc of pure artesian water, and the drainage sys-
tem is perfect. Great attention has been given to the maintenance of gooil sanitary conditions.
With pure water, natural drainage, absence of meadow land and being nearly sur-
rounded by water, it will be difficult for any other resort to offer ecjual inducements for healthful
exercise, pleasure and comfort. While nature has done so much, those who are deeply inter-
ested intend to do their part in making the place one of the most attractive and charming of
its kind.

ATLANTIC
OCEAN
Bathing, Boating and fishing
Here the ocean beach, for surf bathing, is equal to any on the coast, and the bay fur-
nishes unexcelled opportunities for still-water bathing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has advertised Longport as having the finest sail-
ing and fishing in America. Beach Thoroughfare and Great Egg Harbor Bay furnish the best
harbor between Sandy Hook and the Delaware Breakwater. Miles of sailing in almost every di-
rection from Longport pier can be enjoyed in perfect safety; and, as Great Egg Harbor Inlet
opens out into the broad ocean, no time is lost in going out for sea-sailing and fishing. Many
residents of Longport have their private boat-houses and pleasure craft, and the bay, dotted over
with the various launches, yachts and sail-boats, presents a beautiful picture.
I^atural Httractions
The pure air and cool breezes; the smooth, hard beach extending along the ocean. Great
Egg Harbor Inlet and the Thoroughfare; the long port for harbor), the grand outlook over the
ocean, as well as over the bay, with the beautiful landscape beyond; and the sun rising above
the ocean and going down in gorgeous splendor across the bay, casting a radiance on the cjuiet
waters, are among the natural and unsurpassed attractions of Longport. Here, too, the lover
of natural history will find much of interest, for the sea is lavish with her treasures, and casts
them up, that all who will may study and enjoy them. Among the most interesting of these
are the algae, or sea-weeds. Few places afford such facilities for collecting these specimens,
which, when mounted on paper or cardboard, make beautiful sotivenirs.
