Aerial view of the New Jersey coastline taken from an extremely high altitude. The expanse of shoreline and adjacent inland areas can be seen roughly from Margate City to Brigantine. View is facing east towards Atlantic City from a vantage point in the vicinity of Northfield, New Jersey and is far enough west that Lakes Bay is visible in its entirety.
