Greater Atlantic City Trip Planner

Welcome to Greater Atlantic City!

While a visit to the Greater Atlantic City area is not complete without visiting downtown Atlantic City, there is more to the region than casinos, the Atlantic City Boardwalk and salt-water taffy. Located along the New Jersey Shore, this area offers plenty of opportunity for maritime activities during the summer months, from boat charters to deep-sea fishing excursions. Located approximately half-an-hour's drive southwest from Atlantic City via Pleasantville and Somers Point, the municipality of Ocean City offers a quiet, oceanside location. While in Ocean City, stroll the town's own Boardwalk or visit the Historical Museum, complete with photographs telling the story of this seaside resort. Northeast of Atlantic City, the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine rescues, rehabilitates and releases sea turtles and marine mammals, such as seals, whales and dolphins. Visitors are welcomed to this facility, allowing them to learn about the rescue and rehabilitation process. Other towns in the area include Ventnor City and Absecon.
