Atlantic City blends seaside nostalgia with high-flying fun
Atlantic City has been welcoming visitors for more than a century, and it continues to reinvent itself as one of the East Coast’s most dynamic group destinations. There are beach towns, and then there’s Atlantic City. At the heart of it all is the historic Atlantic City Boardwalk, the first and longest of its kind in the world, stretching five miles along the shoreline like a living timeline of American seaside culture. Just steps from the sand, visitors can move from classic boardwalk bites to sweeping ocean views.
