Climate & Geography
Located 25 miles north of Atlantic City and 50 miles east of Philadelphia, Little Egg Harbor is on the flat, southern coast of New Jersey. It experiences a mix of coastal and continental climates. The region experiences all four seasons, but the Atlantic Ocean helps regulate the weather. Winters are milder with less snow than other inland New Jersey cities, and summers tend to be cooler. Tropical storms can bring heavier than average rain, while snow usually comes from coastal storms called nor'easters.
