Considered by many to be one of the cleanest beaches in New Jersey, Ocean City Beach is a haven for family-friendly fun in the sun.

Though Ocean City Beach spans more than eight miles across beautiful New Jersey shoreline, most people choose to occupy the 2.5-mile strip that runs adjacent to the city’s boardwalk.

This gives everyone perfect access to the water, the sand, all the attractions and amenities of the boardwalk — including locally owned restaurants and public restrooms — and all the warm rays of sun their skin can soak up.

Whether you’re looking for a day-trip away from home, or a complete family getaway, chances are your vacation in Ocean City won’t begin until you lay your towel on the sand.
