Even with inflation and recession fears, Downbeach business is booming in the Summer of 2022.
The Margate bayfront along Amherst features a wide variety of economic activity.
The Island Aqua Park in Margate is a massive hit. We predict it will be even more successful once back-bay dredging is done. Watch video above.
Geator with the Heater. A Jersey Shore institution.
Memories with Jerry Blavat going strong for 50 years.
At far end of Amherst on Longport border, Lamberti’s Margate project languishes.
Speaking of Lamberti’s, their former Longport causeway restaurant is now called LaBarca.

La Barca, the ALL NEW, Italian influenced Oyster, Crudo & Craft Cocktail Bar in Longport.

Assortment of Oysters, Crudo, craft cocktails, craft beers & an extensive wine list. Ocean views throughout the entire restaurant.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Nosh & Go Marketplace. Beach and poolside delivery. Delicious.

Thank you for sharing the information~ What a fab summer we all are enjoying!
LAMBERTI looks worse from the back than the front, and that is saying something!
Languish, it should vanish!
So then buy it, and you can do what you want with it. Simple.
It is not that simple. Is it for sale? Or is it up for foreclosure? Yes, then maybe SOMEONE will purchase it and complete it. That would be great, wouldn’t it, for all concerned.
Went to LaBarka this past weekend. Food was very good as was the staff and vibe of the place. Will definitely be back soon.
Thank you for the recognition and for the great work you do keeping us informed about local issues that are important to all of us. We love the Downbeach Buzz (y) (y)
