Bob's Grill Ocean City Pier, New Jersey Live Cam

A red flag flies over the fishing pier at Ocean City, New Jersey, which closes the water to swimmers for as long as it stands. Sea fog sits over the ocean beyond the decking.

The pier runs out on timber piles at Fourteenth Street, just past the boardwalk, and the fishing club that uses it was founded in 1913. The webcam is mounted on a family restaurant facing the same stretch.

A belt of planted dune grass runs between the boards and the sand, holding the dune against winter storms. Fog like this is ordinary here in spring, when the air is warmer than the sea.
