Ocean City Boardwalk
A family beach resort town about 15 km south. Its alcohol-free Boardwalk has an amusement park, a music pier and old-fashioned saltwater taffy shops.
Ocean City, New Jersey, calls itself 'America's Best Family Vacation Destination.' The entire town bans alcohol sales, so the atmosphere is completely different from the casinos of Atlantic City. The roughly 4 km Boardwalk has a seaside amusement park, mini golf, the Music Pier (with summer concerts), and old-fashioned snacks such as salt water taffy and french fries. The beaches are wide and gently sloping, making them good for children to play in the water. In summer, you need to buy a beach tag to access the beach. It is about 20 to 25 minutes' drive from Atlantic City.
Opening hours
Boardwalk open all day; shops and amusement park open late into the night in summer
