There’s more to a day on Atlantic City beaches than swimming and sunbathing. If you’re ready for something more grab some gear and enjoy a few of these activities:

Surfing Lessons are available.
Kayaking & Windsurfing are both permitted at the Jackson Ave. beach. No lifeguards are provided at Jackson Ave. This is a no bathing zone designated for Kayaking & Windsurfing only. There are no rentals at this location so you must bring your own equipment.
