Founded in 1879, Ocean City has evolved from a conservative religious campground into one of the leading family resorts in the country. Featuring eight miles of beautiful beach, three miles of boardwalk, and the most shuffleboard courts north of Florida, Ocean City has maintained its wholesome, family traditions and enhanced them with an array of special events, entertainment and recreational activities.

Ocean City, a major destination along New Jersey's "Southern Shore", has been carefully designed for the safety and entertainment of vacationing families. It covers an island at the northernmost end of Cape May County, between the Atlantic Ocean, Peck's Harbor and Great Egg Harbor.

Often the key to a good resort is it's core of year around residents. Their commitment to a healthy community means well maintained city services, clean, secure beaches and a long calendar of special events.

To protect its family image, Ocean City has turned away from the nightclub scene. Ocean City is a dry community where liquor can be comsumed, but not purchased. The city strives to provide a wide variety of activities for both adults and children, and succeeds on every count.
