Approximately 20 miles south of Atlantic City, New Jersey lies the beautiful beach resort of Ocean City. Known by many as the “Family Resort”, this dry town has much to offer individuals of all ages. The resort town has miles of lovely beaches and a boardwalk which runs along approximately 23 blocks of the beach. Walking along portions of the boardwalk you are met with visions of amusement rides, unique stores and numerous food concessions. If you choose to enjoy the scenery of the beach alone, portions of the boardwalk will accommodate your desire with blocks of quiet and unobstructed beach views where you can simply walk along and listen to the sound of the seagulls as they glide past you.

The first thing you most likely want to do when planning your vacation is to line up a place to stay. If you are looking for a motel type setting close to the beach, you should try the Tahiti Inn on 12th Street and Ocean Avenue. If a hotel type accommodation is more your speed, the Port O’ Call located on 15th Street and Wesley Avenue will strike your fancy. Both of these places are located either directly on the beach or within one block thereof. The city also offers quaint bed and breakfast style accommodations and other motels which are located on the western side of the island near the bay.
