With its rich history, rejuvenated attractions, and picturesque beaches along the iconic Jersey Shore, there isn’t really a bad time to embark on a memorable journey to Atlantic City, the gaming and resort capital of the East Coast. From celebrity-chef restaurants and incredible Italian food to thrilling amusements, cultural landmarks to world-class entertainment, this seaside city is constantly evolving for a mix of modern and Atlantic City’s famous former glory.
No visit to Atlantic City is complete without a leisurely stroll along the legendary Boardwalk. As the first boardwalk in the United States, it holds a special place in American history. Construction on the Boardwalk began in 1870, and since then, it has become an iconic symbol of Atlantic City. On any given day you can take in the sea breeze, see the stunning ocean vistas, and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere that only the Boardwalk can offer. Don’t forget to buy some old-school salt water taffy in one of the candy shops.
While you’re on the Boardwalk, walk over to Steel Pier to experience AC’s oldest theme park for some games and rides, like the fourth highest ferris wheel in the US. First opened in 1898, this historic landmark has delighted visitors for generations. Today, the pier offers a plethora of amusements, thrilling rides, and games of chance for all ages. Experience the nostalgia of a bygone era as you enjoy the lively atmosphere and the spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean.
