Atlantic City and Beach
South New Jersey

We finally made it to Atlantic City. I just can't tell you how excited I was.

This is one stop that we missed on the way back from Florida.

We traveled from Connecticut to South New Jersey and stayed at the Barnegat Motel.

We set our GPS c330 to take us to Atlantic City, and wound up in North Atlantic City, which turned out to be a very depressed area.

The picture below is our first view coming into Atlantic City.

First view of Atlantic City

I just can't explain how shocked I was at this poverty stricken area. It was like rich and famous on one block, poor and on welfare across the street.

We got out to take pictures of the beach anyway.

Then we traveled several blocks south to where we could see the casinos beginning, and parked in a dirt lot by House of Blues.

We went to check out the beach and the boardwalk here.

Atlantic City Beach

We didn't realize that the tourist strip runs for miles and we were just at the tip of it.

There is probably another beach south of here that is big and beautiful, but it got too dark for us to find it.
