Ocean City sits on a barrier island beside the Atlantic Ocean in southern New Jersey, where long sandy beaches and bayside marshes define the shore. Founded in 1879 as a Christian seaside retreat, it remains a dry town, with alcohol sales prohibited within city limits. Its celebrated Boardwalk, first built in 1902, runs behind the beach and anchors the resort’s classic family-oriented atmosphere, alongside arcades, eateries and seasonal entertainment. The southern end reaches toward Corson’s Inlet and the protected coastal habitats of Corson’s Inlet State Park.
