FAQ

  • What is North Beach?

    North Beach is the section of Ventnor that runs from Jackson Avenue (Atlantic City border) to the North side of Surrey Avenue, from the beach to the bay.

  • Why does this part of town need a different name?

    Ventnor has different names for different sections of the city. There’s Ventnor Heights, Ventnor West, Ventnor Gardens and St. Leonard’s Tract. North Beach is just one of the sections of Ventnor.

  • Where did the name “North Beach” come from?

    One of our committee members thought of it and everyone else liked it.

  • Are you trying to separate North Beach from the rest of Ventnor?

    Nope! Actually, we’re trying to do just the opposite. Some history:

    In 2001, the City Commission approved a plan which was to use eminent domain laws to acquire certain properties in North Beach and manage their replacement with new structures. Ultimately, the plan was never implemented and, in 2008, the City Commission ruled to prohibit the use of eminent domain in Ventnor for private gain. At that point, North Beach had some catching up to do.

    Now, almost 20 years later, that is history, and we have successfully rebranded North Beach, which has become the hottest and most desirable neighborhood in Ventnor. North Beach is filled with pride and beauty and community commitment by close knit and friendly residents. We have one of the most active commercial districts in Ventnor, with new and exciting businesses moving in all the time!

  • What is the North Beach Ventnor Residents’ Committee?

    It’s residents of North Beach who joined together to work on enhancing our area. The committee is open to all residents of North Beach. It doesn’t cost anything to join. All you have to do is bring a positive attitude and be willing to work to make North Beach an even better place. We have monthly meetings and ongoing projects throughout the year.

  • Does the North Beach Committee get any money from the City?

    No. We get a lot of help from the City but no money. Our projects have been funded by donations from residents and merchants in North Beach.
