Music at the Beach Festival >> Directions to Stone Harbor

Note: Plan to arrive in Stone Harbor on Saturday, June 23 BEFORE 9:00 AM.

There is a traffic jam each Saturday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM that will double your travel time.

      From Delaware Memorial Bridge:

After crossing the bridge, stay in the two left lanes to be on the side of the fork that leads to Atlantic City and Rt. 40. The exit for Atlantic City is before the entrance to the N.J. turnpike and is on the right.

After exiting, Follow Rt. 40 East. Watch for a left turn after about 10 miles at a big intersection with a WAWA. Follow Rt. 40 through several little towns - there is a traffic circle that may throw you off if you're not following the Rt. 40 signs carefully!

A few miles after you pass through the town of Elmer you will come to the entrance ramp for Rt. 55 South (on your right hand side).

Get on Rt. 55 South and follow it to its end, where it merges with Rt. 47 South. Rt. 47 becomes Rt. 347 for 10 miles or so, then goes back to being plain old Rt. 47, at which point you are close to the beach towns.

After you pass the sign for Avalon and Rt. 83, the next left turn (it is more of a fork than a 90 degree turn) is for Stone Harbor and Cape May.

There is a traffic light there and a pizza joint at the intersection. I'd like to say you can't miss it, but people have, actually. Once on this road you are home free, for it eventually goes right into Stone Harbor.

You will go through some woods first, then pass two shopping centers (one on each side of the road), then pass through the intersection with Rt. 9, then cross over the Garden State Parkway. You need to be in the right lane after you cross Rt. 9 in order to stay straight on this road when it intersects with the Parkway.

At this point the road is called Stone Harbor Blvd. and it takes you right into the town on 96th Street. Turn left at the second traffic light in Stone Harbor onto Second Ave.; go 6 blocks to 90th Street and turn right.

Festival House: #118 on the left about 2/3rds down the block.
