Atlantic City, NJ


Atlantic City is one of the best cruising destinations on the New Jersey coast. Its blazing skyline has become the east coast's most impressive all-night beacon for offshore cruisers. Whether you are planning a several-day stop or you need a place to get out of the weather, look no farther than this robust port with some of the most beautiful beaches on the New Jersey coast. The original 7-mile-long Atlantic City Boardwalk, built in 1870, was the first of its kind in the world and was the inspiration for the board game Monopoly. Today's boardwalk, which has been rebuilt over the years, stretches from Absecon Inlet southwest along 4 miles of spectacular beach and is the longest in the world.

Cape May has been a booming summer tourist destination for nearly two centuries and is the oldest seashore resort in the United States. The town has the largest collection of Victorian architecture in the nation and has been a National Historic Landmark since 1976. The main attraction of Cape May is the Victorian town itself with quaint houses and interesting shops, a charming pedestrian mall and seaside vistas from the boardwalk, not to mention dozens of eager-to-please restaurants. Cape May is also known for many fine bed and breakfast inns.
Should you choose to go to the beach be aware that in season you must have a beach tag to use Cape May's beaches. Tags are required between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., from Memorial Day weekend in May through Labor Day in September. Beach tags can be purchased at any beach entrance.
