Ocean-Gate is a borough of Ocean County, New Jersey located on the Toms River just south of Brick Township. As of 2003, it had a population of 2,109 residents. In 1881, Ocean Gate was known as Good Luck Point. The Pennsylvania Railroad cut a single track across a 600-acre farm and meadowlands in the area and excursion trains passed through Good Luck Point on their way to the beach resorts at Seaside Park and Bay Head. In the early 1900s, passengers began to take notice of Good Luck Point and some stayed to build their summer cottages here. Soon a church and school were built, telephone lines installed, a post office established and by 1918 the town of Ocean Gate was born. The Ocean Gate Historical Society now operates a museum out of the old railroad station (although it was moved several blocks to its present location.) The two-room 1909 station has been restored to its original appearance and visitors can see the original ticket counter, old station lamps, railroad memorabilia, charts and maps and a variety of tools used by local tradesman at the turn of the century. Ocean Gate is near several beaches that offer swimming, surfing, fishing, boating, kayaking, picnicking and other activities. Nearby, the town of Brick Township is filled with shops and restaurants (the town has become a popular shopping magnate for northern Ocean County.) Atlantic City is a little over an hour from Ocean Gate.

Ocean Gate Weather & Climate

East-central New Jersey , along the coast, has a humid subtropical climate with maritime influences. Continental and oceanic influences battle for dominance in the weather patterns on a daily to weekly bases. The coastal zone generally has warmer temperatures than the interior regions in winter. Sea breezes play a major role in the climate, and offer a cooling effect on hot summer days. Coastal storms, often characterized as nor'easters, are most frequent between October and April. These storms bring strong winds and heavy rains. Rarely does a winter go by without at least one significant coastal storm. Tropical storms and hurricanes are also a special concern along the coast, although plenty of warning is given for these types of storms.
