Does Pennsylvania Have an Atlantic Port? No—It’s Landlocked

Pennsylvania does not border the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a landlocked state in the Mid‑Atlantic region, surrounded by New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, and Ohio.

The nearest major seaport is the Port of Philadelphia, located just across the Delaware River in New Jersey. Pennsylvania’s commerce relies on river ports (Philadelphia, Pittsburgh) and rail/highway connections to coastal terminals.
