    We loved Ocean City, NJ. It was our first time here, and it was very clean. The boardwalk is family-friendly, unlike other boardwalks with adult oriented t-shirts and dirty old men. There is nothing to be embarrassed about on this boardwalk. The beach is beautiful and clean also.

    Nice place to walk around, but didn’t feel safe walking. The place was empty, maybe due to weather. Many stores were closed at 3:00 pm. But looked like a great place to visit at busy time.

    Always a great time in OCNJ, especially the boardwalk! Great food options and more than an adequate amount of benches to sit a "people watch". The boardwalk has always been very clean and safe. It is a great place for families to go and enjoy the ocean and the beauty of the ocean. Have been coming to OCNJ for many years and hope for many more visits to the boardwalk!

    Love this boardwalk would definitely recommend and the city is just awesome, the markets on the side are wonderful and the beach that goes alongside the boardwalk is so pretty. It’s also very clean and I definitely like it over Atlantic city, if you couldn’t care less about casinos I’d say ocean city is the best beach in New Jersey. It’s a long boardwalk that is not to crowded but still nice, there’s also an amusement park next to it.

    Pretty nice boardwalk to walk on. There were some nice view of the beach and there were some interesting stores on look at it. Some of them were closed for the off-season. However, it was still a lot better than the boardwalk at seaside heights, which was completely empty. Overall had a fun experience, but would have enjoyed it more if everything was open.

    At 53 years old, I have been going to the Ocean City boardwalk since I was born. My parents favorite place for us when my brother and I were younger. Now I have been going with my own family for almost 20 years and we absolutely love every second we're there. Lots of shops, food and souvenirs. My 15 yr old son also loves being there and bought his girlfriend lots of stuff.

    My favorite boardwalk on the Jersey shore. Great arcades that still take quarters (a surprisingly rare find) family friendly, great food and shops, and we’ll maintained facilities. There’s plenty of options vegetarians, vegans, or other dietary needs. There’s rides, mini golf, go karts, and a great beach as well. There’s a fantastic hot sauce store as well called goodies gone wild that if you’re a fan of flavor is a must see.

    I've been coming to the OCNJ boardwalk my entire life. I love this place and will never get tired of walking the boards every summer. So many good places to eat, shop, and play. It has a magic about it, especially for children.

    Born and raised in NJ and this was my first time at Ocean City. I enjoyed walking on the boardwalk and shopping. Great for any day to escape the heat. Will be looking for a rental so we can stay a week and really take it in.

    Ocean City is my happy place. I grew up spending my summers there and now I bring my family there all the way from Maine every summer. It's gotten a little overcrowded compared to how it was when I was a kid but I'm not surprised. It's an amazing place. I wish I could spend more time there!

    The boardwalk has remained a constant throughout the years. Unlike some other S Jersey seaside destinations, OC has stayed the course...a place for everyone in the family to enjoy themselves. While others have tried, and RETRIED to reinvent themselves through ebbs and flows of the years, OC kept with the tried and true. From the shops and eateries, to the amusement rides. I grew up in S Jersey...and whenever I come home, I make Ocean City's boardwalk a destination point.

    Absolutely loved it ! Vacation for 10 days. Whether with family, single or a couple, and any age, there's something for Everyone both day & night, boardwalk closes at 12 midnight. Bars open til 2am. Plenty of beach parking $3.50/hr & close to boardwalk, beach & rides. Plenty more on side streets most are pay to park too. Lines in July were minimal 5-10 min. & worth it.

    Visited on 29th Dec 2023.Not crowded at all.Most shops were closed.Had a nice time, enjoying the view of ocean and walking down on boardwalk with just few people was a different and pleasant experience.

    Awesome boardwalk! It's very clean and has tons of great places to eat, shop, and play games. There's also lots of amusement park rides and a water park. My favorite store is the Surf Mall, they had a lot of fun shops in there. The castle in front of the rides at Gillian's Wonderland Pier is really cool.

    Ocean City, NJ, has a reputation as a "dry town," meaning the sale of alcoholic beverages is restricted, contributing to its family-friendly and laid-back ambiance. It hosts several events and festivals throughout the year, attracting tourists and locals alike. The shops are opened till late

    My favorite place on earth. The small town vibes are fantastic. So many cool little shops, great food and golf, and awesome views of the ocean. Beaches are crowded and busy, but clean and there's always space to set up.

    Literally my FAVORITE beach. I’ve been coming to this beach since I was a little girl. There’s plenty to do there. My two favorite things are chocolate covered bacon from Steele’s and fresh squeezed lemonade. You can’t go wrong with Carmel corn, fudge or ice cream from Kohr’s/George’s. This beach is enjoyable at any age!!

    Had a great time here over labor day with my family. We went to the beach everyday and to the boardwalk. I loved walking the board walk each day. People were very friendly and the food was great.

    A classic Jersey boardwalk with plenty of amusement for people of all ages. *its a dry town, no alcohol. Rides, shops, biking, restaurants, candy shops. It's wide and able to accompany bikes and people it narrows to two lanes toward the the end & it's roughly 2.50 miles long from beginning to end. We really enjoyed it. The Atlantic City skyline can be seen clearly here. Absolutely gorgeous beach too

    For day trip best to arrive early. Parking lots are pricey. The alternative is street meter parking. There is plenty of bike rental vendors. That is always fun. Finding the right spot on the beach can also be tricky what with all the tents & canopies. But once settled just relax. Take nice walk/run on the beach or the boardwalk. There is a fee for beach tag and the young inspectors walk around asking for them. Always have them handy. There things to do and see around town. Worth Exploring!
