Ocean-City
is a well known summer resort destination, located along the Jersey Shore approximately 20 minutes from Atlantic City, at the northern tip of Cape May County. The town bills itself as "America's Greatest Family Resort," and offers a three-mile long boardwalk, pristine beaches and lots of fun attractions for the whole family. The surf at Ocean City is especially very well suited for young children due to the offshore sandbars. The two and a half-mile long boardwalk is a lively mix of amusement rides, shops, restaurants, movie theaters, miniature golf and a water park. It was recently voted "one of the best in the world" in a national survey. Ocean City also has a colorful downtown filled with specialty shops, antique stores, gourmet dining, modern hotels and bed and breakfast inns. Ocean City also offers a wide variety of museums and historical sites, including a Historical Museum depicting early Ocean City's history with period room displays and a scale model of the "Sindia," Ocean City's most famous shipwreck. Nearby Greenwich is home of "New Jersey's Tea Party," and has many interesting buildings from the Revolutionary War era. Both ocean and bay in Ocean City offer all types of water sports, including swimming, surfing, sailing, boating and fishing. For nightlife, exciting Atlantic City, "the city that never sleeps," is just twenty minutes away. Ocean City is approximately 70 minutes from Philadelphia and two hours from New York City.
