Atlantic Ocean

Atlantic City has it all - from cruises, water sports, fishing, bike rentals, golf, parks, sightseeing tours and much more.

From New Jersey’s tallest lighthouse to deep sea fishing, and everything in between, you can always find exciting things to do in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Atlantic City's free, clean, wide beaches offer a variety of fun-in-the-sand activities this summer. So grab your towel and sunscreen and head out for a day full of surfside activities. If you're ready for something more than swimming and sunbathing, grab some gear and enjoy kayaking, windsurfing, boogie boarding, surfing and volleyball. Wind down from your day at one of the AC's Beach Bars.

Atlantic City is not only a great place to try your luck at the slots, it’s also great place to try your luck fishing… There are many charter and party boats in the area that cater to "High Rollers" and recreational fishermen. There are also plenty of places to fish from the surf. As a matter of fact, the world record Striped Bass was caught off of a jetty in the Atlantic City surf. It weighed in just under 79 pounds!!

The AC area affords some great opportunities to fish inshore for Striped Bass and Bluefish as well as offshore for Sharks and further offshore canyon fishing for Tuna, Mahi and Marlin. It’s also very close to some great reefs, wrecks and snags to fish for Blackfish and Seabass.

Atlantic City also plays host to two of the Northeast’s largest boat shows... An indoor show at the Atlantic City Convention Center in the winter and the in-water show at the Farley State Marina in late summer.
