Before you go

Use the live details that matter

  • Pick a north-end, central-Boardwalk, south-end, or marina base before booking. Atlantic City is compact on a map but the most handy clusters are not interchangeable.
  • Make the beach a real part of the day in warm weather. It is free, and it gives your visit a needed reset from indoor casino energy.

Confirm current access, hours, reservations, and conditions with Official Atlantic City Boardwalk information.
