Great Egg Harbor Bay (or Great Egg Harbor) is a major bay located on the southern New Jersey coast, specifically in Atlantic and Cape May counties. The Great Egg Harbor River empties into the bay.[1]
The Garden State Parkway crosses the bay, via the Great Egg Harbor Bridge. Just west of the bridge is the Beesley's Point Bridge, which closed in 2004. It carried U.S. Route 9.
