Atlantic City’s guidebook
Sightseeing
Few tourists visit Atlantic City without taking a walk down the iconic Boardwalk. The four-mile long Boardwalk is lined with bars, restaurants, shops, and nostalgic carnival-style games. The Boardwalk connects many of the big Atlantic City hotels and casinos, making it convenient and easy to get from place to place. Bikes and roller blades are both allowed on the Boardwalk, that is if you prefer not to walk the four-mile stretch. The boardwalk is a family-friendly place and has something for all ages including restaurants, miniature golf in the dark, and an escape room.

Reminiscent of coastal Maine, The Absecon lighthouse was built in 1857 and is New Jersey’s tallest lighthouse, standing 171 feet tall. After the completion of its restoration in 1999, the Absecon became open to the public. Visitors can climb the lighthouse’s 228 steps and enjoy the stunning panoramic view from the top. The Lighthouse is located just a few blocks from the Boardwalk and operates daily July and August, and five days a week during the rest of the year. Entrance to the lighthouse museum is free, however, if you’d like to climb to the top, you’ll have to pay a small fee.
