Ocean City, New Jersey has hidden gems not found in any guidebooks, not advertised on any brochures. This book takes you behind the scenes of our favorite city. Some of the entries may be familiar, and you can check those off immediately, but others may be a mystery. As you check off your adventures (some easy, some more challenging), you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you’ve gone beyond the typical “tourist” status and become an “honorary local,” and trust me, that’s a more desirable handle than “shoobie.” Like kids at the beach, we should all dig deeper, and once you hit water, you’ll truly know the town we love. I hope this book will help you to “feel” what makes Ocean City so special to me and my family.
