Atlantic City offers more than casinos, dining and nightlife. The coastal destination is home to a world famous boardwalk that dates back to the 1870’s. Take an ocean-front stroll and enjoy shopping and attractions to one side, and the ocean to the other side. Lucy the Elephant is a 6-story tall historic landmark located along the boardwalk.

Built in the 1800’s, you can take a spiral staircase through her insides to enjoy 360-degree views from the top. Stop by the Abescon lighthouse, New Jersey’s tallest, and the nation’s third tallest. Climb the 228 stairs to the top for a close-up look at the 1854 lens. Galleries and museums include the African American Heritage Museum and the Atlantic City Arts Foundation.
