Middle Atlantic, Coast

During this time of year, temperatures begin to

warm the shore, and many outdoor activities begin

to emerge. Play a round at one of the area’s many

golf courses — including an authentic Scottish

links course on Brigantine Beach. Rent a bicycle

and ride the length of the boardwalk, soaking in

the sun and sights. Spend the day hiking inWharton

State Forest, part of the famed New Jersey Pine

Barrens (and the so-called haunt of the mythical

Jersey Devil). Go flounder fishing on a party boat,

or view marine life, including dolphins, during a

relaxing day cruise. And speaking of relaxing, treat

yourself to some well-deserved “me time” and

choose from an assortment of nirvana-inducing

treatments at an area

spa

The beginning of the year along the south New

Jersey coast is relatively temperate, with average

high temperatures ranging from the low 40s°F to

50°F (5°C to 10°C). Crowds are usually a little thin-

ner than during summer, and discounts to shows

and dining are more readily available. Enjoy the

laughs at The Comedy Stop, located at

The

Quarter at Tropicana

(an entertainment district

modeled after Old Havana in Cuba). And you can

still enjoy the beach at the Landshark Bar & Grill.

It’s the only year-round restaurant located on the

sand, complete with retractable walls offering

unsurpassed views of the surf.

The crowds of summer are gone, and brisk, com-

fortable days are here. Clear, moon-filled nights

make for some of the most romantic times of the

year to stroll the boardwalk. This is also the most

celebratory time of the year to visit. As Halloween

nears, local tales of the macabre abound, includ-

ing stories of the Jersey Devil, at the kitschy

Haunted Tales attraction. For a more frightening

time, check out the Night of Terror at Creamy

Acres Farms, about an hour’s drive away. Come

December, the city ushers in the holiday season,

with

festive colors and dazzling light dis-

plays

virtually everywhere. And if you can’t find a

New Year’s Eve party to your liking here, then

you’re in the wrong city!

Warm breezes and sea temperatures make this the

best time of the year to enjoy the many sandy

strands the area affords. The passive can drop a

towel virtually anywhere and while the day away,

and surfers and kayakers have plenty to be thankful

for.The boardwalk truly comes alive this time of the

year, with vendors and performing artists — not to

mention eager throngs of tourists — virtually

omnipresent from sunrise to sunset (and beyond).

The historic

Steel Pier amusement park

is open

late, providing visitors ample time for one more go

on their favorite ride.And ever since 1921, the most

beautiful women from around the country descend

on the city for the Miss America pageant.

hy Go?

For the top-notch entertainment options. Some of the biggest names in gaming (Bally’s, Caesars, Harrah’s,

and Tropicana, to name a few) are represented and deliver thrills 24/7. Outside, the Atlantic City Boardwalk — the first

of its kind and arguably the world’s most famous — runs more than 4 miles and offers shopping, dining, and the Steel

Pier amusement park, the place to be for a variety of rides and attractions. Of course, this resort wonderland’s entire

raison d’être

— the magnificent Atlantic Ocean — is a delight to swim in, or lounge by, during the warmer months.

One thing that can be enjoyed regardless of the season is the roar of the surf — it’s music to the ears.
