USCGS HARVEY CEDARS RM3 1932, NJ, is a US Coast and Geodetic Survey (USCGS) reference mark disk located on the grounds of the Long Beach Fishing Club (formerly, the Harvey cedars Coast Guard Station) on the southeast side of Long Beach Blvd in the Borough of Harvey Cedars, Ocean County, NJ. The disk is 107.0 feet west-northwest from station HARVEY CEDARS, 93.5 feet southeast from the southeast edge of paving of Long Beach Blvd, 85.3 feet northwest from station HARVEY CEDARS RM5, 30.2 feet northwest of the northwest corner of the clubhouse, about four feet south-southeast of a sign with beach rules (“Attention Beachgoers”), 2.3 feet southwest of a pipe-rail fence, and 1.3 feet below the surface of the ground (soft sand – easy digging). The disk was monumented by the USCGS in 1932, and was documented for inclusion in the NGS database by the New Jersey Geodetic Survey in 2001. It is stamped HARVEY CEDARS NO 3 1932.
