Getting to Know Atlantic City

Atlantic City hosts more than 33 million annual visitors who cash in on the action of 12 dazzling casino resorts with 24-hour gaming excitement, headline entertainment, and gourmet dining.
Take a refreshing dip in the Atlantic Ocean, enjoy the view as you jog along the Boardwalk, or rent a bicycle for an early morning ride amidst ocean breezes.
Enjoy hiking, camping or kayaking? Nearby local, state and national parks offer scenic views, hiking trails and log cabins to get back to nature, while rental companies all along the southern New Jersey coast offer water sport rentals for the ocean and bay.
The casinos aren’t the only game in town. The seaside resort offers something for everyone, whatever the taste and budget, including action-packed sporting events, unique clubs, 24-hour bars and public shows featuring everything from antiques and collectibles to powerboats, sailboats and classic cars.
Along with vibrant nightlife, world-class golf and fishing, historic lighthouses, first-class shopping and a great outdoor experience all await those looking for fun and excitement.

Atlantic City and the surrounding area are home to some of the east coast’s most unique and eclectic places to dine. Famous local fare such as Angelo’s Fairmont Tavern and White House Subs, both located in the heart of Ducktown, Atlantic City’s acclaimed Italian district have keep hungry visitors satisfied for several years.
Everyone loves a little history with their food, too. The rich history and culture of some of the area’s oldest restaurants and inns surround you and can almost be tasted as you dine. Many of Atlantic City’s restaurants have been around since the late 1800’s and are still family-owned and operated.

Atlantic City’s spectacle of lights, décor, and action are a dazzling backdrop against the world famous Boardwalk and Atlantic Ocean, as well as the bay side of the city.
No tour of Atlantic City is complete without visiting some of its most historic landmarks, from Lucy the Elephant to the touch tanks and sea life exhibits in the Ocean Life Center at Historic Gardner’s Basin.
At Virginia Avenue and the Boardwalk, Steel Pier is one of Atlantic City’s most historic landmarks. Featuring rides and games, the pier was once the place to see high-diving horses. Today it boasts a custom carousel that shows hand-painted scenes from the city’s history.
The Absecon Lighthouse at Rhode Island and Pacific Avenues in Atlantic City is a historic structure designed by Civil War General George Meade and built in 1857. Visitors who climb the 228-step structure are rewarded with a bird’s eye view of Atlantic City’s dazzling skyline and the back bay area. It is the tallest lighthouse in New Jersey.

Located in the heart of the northeast and within easy driving distance of a third of the population of the United States, Atlantic City is only 126 miles away from New York City and a mere 62 miles from Philadelphia.
