Atlantic City Beach, New Jersey
One of the most popular attractions of Atlantic City, NJ is its beach.
In 1850 Dr. Jonathan Pitney, impressed with the beauty of New Jersey's beaches, fresh salt air, and the ocean surf, interested investors in developing a sea-side resort on Absecon Island. The result was Atlantic City. These beautiful beaches are still here, the same as they were over a century ago! Atlantic City offers four miles of pristine sandy beach gently sloping into the clear blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
