We have visited Ocean City numerous times. Years ago my Sister-In-Law Stacy and her Husband had an apartment there and April and I would go and spend weekends in Ocean City, it was fantastic. The boardwalk in Ocean City is one of the best in New Jersey. There are plenty of restaurants in Ocean City, keep in mind Ocean City is a "dry" town and there are no liquor stores on the island.

I've included a photo gallery of pics from Ocean City for you to take a look through and next time your looking for a new place to visit put Ocean City on your list.
