Strathmere
Strathmere is the oceanfront community within Upper Township, not a separate municipality. It sits along the coastal route between Ocean City and Sea Isle City, with Commonwealth Avenue as a useful local reference and a bayfront dining setting around the Deauville Inn and Twisties.
Upper Township manages the beach here and states that its beaches do not require tags. Guarded locations and coverage change seasonally, so check the beach patrol’s current notices rather than assuming that every entrance is staffed. The township also publishes access information for Putnam Road.
A Strathmere search should account for the narrow coastal setting and trips to mainland services. The appeal of being near ocean and bay needs to be matched with practical questions about parking, storage and your usual grocery and school routes.
