A family-friendly vibe on the Jersey Shore

Coastal Vibrant Active Picturesque Family-Friendly

Located just 11 miles south of Atlantic City on the New Jersey Shore, Ocean City is a vibrant community with a family-friendly atmosphere. Ocean City has all the hallmarks of a classic Shore town, from an exciting boardwalk lined with amusement-park rides and games to beautiful beaches brimming with opportunities for outdoor recreation.

Ocean City fosters a strong sense of community through annual events such as the Boardwalk Art Show, Surf Fest, Christmas Parade, and the Summer Concert Series held at the Ocean City Music Pier every year. Aside from the tourist-friendly favorites on the boardwalk, Ocean City also offers plenty of options to enjoy the outdoors at Corson’s Inlet State Park and Ocean City Dog Park, in addition to many apartments and condos available for rent in tranquil residential areas.
