Welcome to Ocean City, New Jersey - it's been called America's favorite family resort!

Located at the heart of the Jersey Shore, Ocean City is perfectly situated for a vacation. It's at the northern tip of Cape May County, just 20 minutes from Atlantic City, 70 minutes from Philadelphia, and two hours from New York City. In fact, its so convenient, that you'll want to come down for a getaway all through the year.

Ocean City offers the best in hospitality, food, shopping and family-oriented fun. There's something for every taste and budget --- from bed-and-breakfasts to modern hotels, from snacks to gourmet dining, from souvenirs to antiques, and from bumper cars to rollercoasters.

You'll find an outstanding program of special events, recreational programs and concerts, and a quaint, colorful downtown full of unique specialty stores.

Our two-mile boardwalk is the central focus of Ocean City's attractions. It was voted one of the best in the world in a recent national survey. It is lined with shops and restaurants of every kind, movie theatres, amusement rides, miniature golf courses, and a waterpark like no other!

Our ocean and bay offer every watersport imaginable, including surfing, sailing and boating. An active Arts Center, Historical Museum and the resort's famed Music Pier make Ocean City culturally appealling as well. And as for nightlife, just twenty minutes away is exciting Atlantic City... the city that never sleeps!
