Day-to-Day Atlantic City Itinerary
Day One: Boardwalk Beginnings
Welcome to Atlantic City! Upon arrival, settle into your hotel and ease into your trip with a leisurely lunch overlooking the ocean at LandShark Bar & Grill. Afterward, take in the sights of the legendary Atlantic City Boardwalk, where the ocean breeze pairs perfectly with stops for saltwater taffy or a peek into the shops.
In the afternoon, join a guided tour of the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall, home to the world’s largest pipe organ and a fascinating exhibit on the city’s history. End your evening with an elegant dinner at Capriccio at Resorts Casino Hotel, where Italian specialties are served with sweeping views of the Atlantic. For those who wish, a little time on the casino floor or an early evening show provides the perfect nightcap.
Day Two: Culture, Flavor & History
Start the morning with a visit to the Absecon Lighthouse, New Jersey’s tallest. While the 228 steps to the top are optional, the historic keeper’s cottage and museum offer a window into Atlantic City’s maritime past.
Next, enjoy a step-on guided tour through the city’s neighborhoods. From the murals of the 48 Blocks Arts Program to the Italian American heritage of Ducktown, it’s a cultural journey that reveals Atlantic City beyond the Boardwalk.
Lunch is a treat at the iconic White House Sub Shop, known for its legendary hoagies, or at Tennessee Avenue Beer Hall, a local favorite located on The Orange Loop. In the afternoon, head to Historic Gardner’s Basin, a serene waterfront district where you can check out the Atlantic City Aquarium, enjoy the marina views, or opt for a dolphin sighting boat cruise.
As the sun sets, gather for dinner at the Chart House, perched at the Golden Nugget Marina with sweeping views of the water. For an evening outing, consider a live performance at Resorts Casino Hotel or Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City, where music and entertainment light up the night.
Day Three: Leisurely Farewell
Your final morning invites you to explore at your own pace. Stroll through Tanger Outlets Atlantic City, where you’ll find name-brand shops and plenty of cozy spots to sit and people-watch. If shopping isn’t on your list, take the morning to simply relax at your hotel spa or enjoy some light gaming.
Over lunch, savor homestyle cooking and, if you’re lucky, live jazz at Kelsey’s, a soulful Atlantic City restaurant. Then, take one last stroll along the Boardwalk or linger by the ocean before departing, with memories of a city that blends timeless charm with modern flair.
