2 New Jersey Towns Named To America’s Most Wonderful Waterfront Cities List🌊

 

Atlantic City

Love Exploring said "Often tipped as the East Coast's answer to the Las Vegas Strip, Atlantic City's Boardwalk dates back to the 1870s and still pulls in tourists today with its cute shops, ocean vistas and a handful of casinos. Stay dry with a sunset walk or make a splash on the beach with activities such as kayaking and surfing. If you're coming with kids, there are plenty of family attractions too – the Steel Pier is sure to be a favorite."

 

Wildwood

Love Exploring said "A resort city in New Jersey, Wildwood sits on a barrier island and is known for its wide, sandy beach and the Sightseer tram car that runs along the Wildwood Boardwalk. An unmissable experience is the sprawling Morey's Piers. Covering six blocks, this beachfront amusement park has more than 100 rides and attractions as well as seasonal water parks. Founded in 1969, it offers the perfect combination of classic seaside amusements and thrilling, modern rides."
