Soon fireworks will light up the coastline as children parade down the block with bikes decked out in red, white, and blue. Beaches will be overflowing with sunbathers and surfers as flags wave with pride in celebration of America’s birthday.
Fourth of July weekend is one of the busiest at the Jersey Shore and we certainly know how to rise to the occasion. From the beaches to the premier entertainment and dining, Atlantic and Cape May County have it all! The waterways and back bays delight boaters and fishermen alike while the boardwalks offer thrills, fun, and delicious treats.
In the evening, you can feel the excitement up and down the boardwalks as Ferris wheels light up the night sky and rollercoasters offer thrills of joy. Arcades, mini golf, local treats, and ongoing debates about “jimmies vs. sprinkles” fill our summers with memories we can’t forget. All of our senses come to life in the summer, especially our taste buds! The aroma of freshly baked pizza, overflowing popcorn, and french fries fills the air.
As darkness falls, fireworks light up the sky. There’s something magical about having your toes in the sand while watching. If you prefer to stay on the Mainland though, Kennedy Park in Somers Point and Faunce Landing in Absecon are two of my favorite spots. They both offer multiple vantage points. You can look one way and see Atlantic City’s fireworks and turn your head north to enjoy Margate and Ocean City’s shows.
