Ortley Beach

South of Chadwick and Ocean Beach lies Ortley Beach, named for Mitchell Ortley, an entrepreneur who came here in 1818. Ortley planned to re-establish a channel between Barnegat Bay and the Atlantic Ocean near where Cranberry Inlet had been, profiting from tolls charged to mariners passing through the channel. Unfortunately, his workmen completed the project only to watch the tide fill the channel by the next day. Today Ortley Beach is part of Dover Township on the mainland.

Ortley Beach is an unincorporated area of Toms River, New Jersey. It also known as Dover Beaches South. Like many of the ocean communities found on Barnegat Peninsula it is not that large. Ortley Beach is less than a square mile in area and is bordered by Lavallette to the north and Seaside Heights to the south.
