About this map

Sea Breeze and the surrounding coastal marshlands of Cumberland County dominate this 2017 survey where the Delaware Bay meets the New Jersey shoreline. The landscape is a complex network of tidal waterways and salt marshes, defined by the winding course of the Cohansey River as it passes Cohansey Point into Cohansey Cove. The settlement pattern follows the higher ground of the "necks," including Bacons Neck, Back Neck, and Sayres Neck, which are separated by vast wetlands and creeks such as Middle Marsh Creek and Back Creek.

Infrastructure in this area is limited to local roads like Seabreeze Rd and Sayres Neck Rd, which terminate at the water's edge. A notable aviation landmark, the Halka Nurseries Airport, sits near the northern boundary, reflecting the agricultural and horticultural land use present on the drier inland fringes. Coastal features like Ben Davis Point and Pier Point Neck provide critical points of reference for the shifting maritime environment of Nantuxent Cove.
