    I’m so glad you loved ocean city so much! My family’s been going every summer for the past 80+ years and I think we can all agree that it’s our favorite place to be :) if you ever come back, try to be on the boardwalk on a Tuesday night because during the summer in ocnj, Tuesday night is mummer night and every week a parade of mummers makes their way down the boardwalk playing polka music and spreading joy! It’s a sight to behold and always a highlight of my many ocean city trips! As for the beach being narrow, it’s usually wider than that, but the waves drag the sand back into the ocean after a while so every couple of years they vacuum sand back out of the ocean to widen the beaches. You probably just found the wrong stretch of beach at the wrong time, and if you return you’ll likely be met with a much wider beach! (Especially at the southern end of the island, around 25th street and south). Anyway, thank you for checking out my little slice of heaven, I hope you return because there so much more to explore than you could ever cover in one day!

    Where the food court is all the way in the back is another mini golf place. I absolutely love that one. It glows in the dark.

    Growing up I was always down Seaside Heights for vacation and loved it. I met my wife in 2011 and she was always down OC for vacation Growing up so I went with her for the first time and have been going down every summer since. There's no other Shore town that can come close to it in Jersey. It's such a beautiful place for families.

    Summertime is one thing in Ocean City, but a majority of the year winter time is a completely different experience building a fire on the boardwalk we would look and breaking into summer houses and party bunch of crazy kids in Ocean City but it was a safe clean place to grow up and an excellent high school But living there most of the year you felt like everybody was somewhere else. It was so empty and so quiet I can remember hearing the wind whipping around howling through the buildings. And that wind would come off the ocean and go right through you. It was always fun to see snow on the beach didn’t happen very often but when it did, it was pretty cool.

    My family has been going there since 1940. Spent my childhood there every year in the 60's & 70's. My most favorite place on earth. Copper Kettle Fudge (on 11th) cooking smell used to fill the air and there is no pizza like what used to be called Mack & Manco! I'm sure it is still awesome! You must have birch beer with it! You mentioned the beach is narrow. When I was younger the dunes were not there and in the evening the water would come under the boardwalk. So awesome for a young child.

    Lots of changes and improvements since our summer stays in the 1960’s-70’s. I see some staples that still exist. I’m looking forward to our next visit. I took my 3 kids there along with my parents and swam at the same beaches my family did. We took our grandson every year for his birthday before the pandemic. This year will be our return.

    I have been to Ocean City, NJ a couple of times and it is nice but sorry the beach to me should be for free. I actually live near Ocean City, MD and it is nice but it is a lot more busier.

    • @AlongForTheJourney
      @AlongForTheJourney  2 роки тому +2

      I grew up in MD and avoided OC. It's pretty but there could be times where it was absolute chaos. They invite a younger, wilder crowd. I always loved Rehoboth and Dewey, took that Cape May Ferry every summer. 🧡
