Ocean City, Beach resort in Cape May County, United States.
Ocean City extends along 8 miles of Atlantic coastline with a 2.5-mile boardwalk featuring amusement parks, shops, and entertainment venues.
Four Methodist ministers established Ocean City in 1879 as a Christian retreat, leading to its incorporation as a borough in 1884.
The Ocean City Tabernacle continues the tradition of weekly summer religious services and concerts, maintaining the founders' spiritual values.
The city provides lifeguard-protected beaches from June through September, with beach tags required for access during these months.
Since its founding, Ocean City maintains its status as a dry town, prohibiting the sale of alcoholic beverages within city limits.
