Wondering how to get around in Atlantic City?

It’s easy to get around Atlantic City’s waterfront area on foot or by pedi-cab, and taxis are a great option when you want to venture further from the coastline. When a city is lined with golden sand and all kinds of adult fun—from colorful cocktails to glittery slot machines— “walking” doesn’t quite describe your getaway gait. In Atlantic City, they call that swagger.

Atlantic City may be known for its nonstop party scene—one that predates Prohibition—but you can still enjoy easygoing island vibes tucked away from the intoxicating glamor of the Boardwalk. If you’re staying somewhere far from the fray, like at Empire Inn & Suites Atlantic City/Absecon in quiet Absecon, consider renting a car for your vacation; you can even take a day trip to Philadelphia and introduce your pooch to the City of Brotherly Love. Pets are family, after all.

Can I go shopping on the Atlantic City boardwalk?

The Atlantic City Boardwalk is lined with shopping options, including vintage candy stores, beach souvenirs, and high fashion. As you shop through Victorian storefronts, you may feel like smuggling some gin out with your new shoes, but don’t. Prohibition is over, even though the city has held on to much of its whimsical architecture from that time, including an amusement park right on Steel Pier. Take a spin on the Ferris wheel for a view of the shopping scene and wave at your travel companions holding down the fort in one of the best Atlantic City pet-friendly hotels. Bring them some treats from a beachfront cafe and save the Tiffany’s bracelet and Apple watch for yourself…
