Atlantic City Casinos and So Much More
Atlantic City Casinos get all the notoriety, but there is a lot more to Atlantic City that the gambler misses. Yes, this grand old dame has seen better days, but there is still a beautiful beach with the famous wide, sandy expanses that the Jersey Shore is noted for, and a very interesting and lively boardwalk.But, OK, let's face it, if you want rolling waves and soft sands, a boardwalk full of rides and summer snacks, bathing beauties, surfer dudes and the athletic volley ball crowd, Atlantic City Beach is not what comes to mind. Check out the bods on Wildwood Beach, the killer surf at Sandy Hook (with a view of Manhattan, no less) and the Pro Volley Ball at Belmar. No question, Atlantic City is all about the Casinos.
