Ocean City, NJ is self-titled as ‘America’s Greatest Family Resort’. With an award-winning beach and various entertaining activities at its disposal, the city – the largest by area in Cape May – is an exciting destination choice for both young and old. And with beachfront hotels, numerous dining options and a plethora of shops, it is no surprise that many families make an annual pilgrimage to experience the wonders of Ocean City!
Fun on the Boardwalk
Thanks to many of its attractions being centrally located – alongside hotels, restaurants and shops – getting around and experiencing everything Ocean City supplies is a simple affair. As for what you should visit during your trip, this city in New Jersey is well-known for its beaches and the Boardwalk. The eight miles of alluring beaches are immaculately maintained, while the Boardwalk contains an exhilarating combination of things to do. One of those is the historic Gillian’s Wonderland Pier. First opened all the way back in 1929, this mainstay has many exciting rides – including the skyline dominating Ferris wheel that offers stunning views. Speaking of amusement parks, Ocean City is – thankfully – big enough for two of them. That’s because it also boasts the charming Playland’s Castaway Cove, which features a varied selection of rides that delight both young and old. The area is also home to numerous arcades, while the Boardwalk Adventures Water Park delivers yet another attraction to amuse all the family!
Shopping for Gifts
Once you take a break from the entertaining activities that are available, what else is there to do when travelling to Ocean City? Well, if you enjoy spending money on treats and gifts, it should be noted that the city has a varied and healthy amount of shops available. From one-of-a-kind novelty trinkets to charming memorabilia that will remind you of your trip, the Boardwalk is populated by numerous gift shops. Forgot to pack your beach essentials? Well acquiring such supplies is, thankfully, also a given when exploring this area of Ocean City. But if you are in search of a centralised place that covers all your shopping needs, the downtown district is one of your main ports of call. Here, you will find over 100 shops and dining options in total, ensuring everything you could need is all in one spot. This downtown area also has a combination of independent establishments and well-known retailers, offering a nice mix of the unique and the familiar.
Dining Out
Some of the best seaside dining is served up in Ocean City. As far as restaurants go, you have plenty of choice to match your tastes and budget. From a traditional snack of curly fries to some of the best surf and turf joints in New Jersey, there is something for everyone when eating out in the city. Got a sweet tooth that needs satisfying? Well along with the ice cream that is essentially mandatory when by the sea, there are plenty of places selling homemade sweets. Speaking of which, the famous Shriver’s store – which has resided on the Boardwalk for over 100 years – is your number one destination for saltwater taffy and fudge. Also, note that, in keeping with its family-friendly image, Ocean City is a dry island. This means that no alcohol is sold or drunk within the city. Yet if this is an issue, nearby places such as Strathmere are just a short drive away, and allow you to drink alcoholic beverages as you wish!
