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.

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.

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

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

In 2001, the City Commission approved a plan which designated this part of Ventnor as “The Redevelopment Zone.” The City’s plan was to use eminent domain laws to acquire houses and other buildings which would then be knocked down with new buildings built in their place. During the years that plan was being developed very little was put into maintaining this section of Ventnor either by the City or by some of the residents. 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.

Now that all that is history, we’re re-joining the rest of Ventnor. We’re working to bring pride and beauty back to our neighborhood and ultimately make it better than it ever was before.

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. Check the home page of our website for meeting dates and location.

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.
