This boardwalk is big enough to have everything you want, but also small enough not to be overwhelming. It is close to a nice beach, has great restaurants, and kid-friendly attractions.

Couldn't miss a nice stroll on the boardwalk after dinner one night. Looked in a few stores, bought a gift, and got an ice cream cone. Lots to do!

Nice arcades, great variety of rides plus the usual shops make this a great stroll for the family. Calm, well behaved crowd so it's really comfortable to take young kids.

We had never seen the ocean abd wanted to skip atlantic city because of our little ones. The beach was very clean. I was surprised to have to pay for passes to see the water but I imagine it isnt uncommon. The boardwalk had a lot of tourist things like concessions and caged in mini amusement parks but we didnt...

The boardwalk in OC is about 3 miles long. The southern part is full of stores with everything that is available for the beach tourist. It is interesting just to sit and watch the people walk pass or browse the shops, eating places & arcades. You can spend hours or days on the boardwalk and never a boring moment. it... More

Was there before Memorial day and almost all stores were open. Manco's pizza is still my # 1 choice. Lots of good sales at many stores. Boardwalk was clean like always and neatly marked for runners, bikes, pedestrians and runners. Ocean City continues to be the Greatest Family resort and look forward to visiting my hometown in the near future.

The parking fees have gone up to 20.00 which is absolutely ridiculous after hurricane sandy and the poor economy you would think the parking lot owners would not price gouge think again. People will think twice about heading to the boardwalk.

Love this boardwalk! While MD's boardwalk is overrun with t-shirt shacks and bad pizza, NJ has a diverse range of shops and restaurants. The stores sell everything from home decor and surf gear, to holiday gifts and jewelry. There are hippie stores, upscale boutiques, and a sweet kite shop, among others. Shopping is best in the afternoon as you won't... More
