The city
What to expect from Atlantic City.
A seaside town on a barrier island in southern New Jersey, famous for its 1870 wooden boardwalk and seaside casinos. Beyond gambling and entertainment, it has an open beach, the Steel Pier with rides over the water, the Absecon Lighthouse—the tallest in the state—and, in Margate to the south, Lucy the elephant, a 19th-century animal-shaped building.
