What a hidden gem! We've passed the Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum for years and finally…read morestopped in--and we're so glad we did. The volunteers gave us what felt like a private tour, sharing not only the history of the station but also fascinating stories about Ocean City itself. We loved learning how the shoreline once came right up to the station, how the surfmen lived and worked, and how the station was brought back into service during World War II because of U-boats. The realistic mannequins, original equipment, and period rooms make it easy to imagine life there over a century ago. Best of all, admission is free, and it's clear the volunteers put their hearts into preserving this history. If you're visiting Ocean City, don't make the mistake we did and keep walking past it. It's absolutely worth a visit.

If you're at the shore and want to take a short break from all the sun and surf and other…read moreactivities, how about indulging in a little history. The historic life saving station in the north end of Ocean City is a pleasant journey into a bit of maritime history. You can still see some of the old life boats which were used in rescue attempts of people imperiled in and on the sea. The original kitchen and bedrooms are still here which were used by the men and women who worked at this facility and saved many a life over the years. Interesting enough - at one time this life saving station was directly on the beach and ocean but the years have shifted the sands and now it is a very long block inland from the water. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

It was cool to see the megaladon shark teeth, various shells, and some preserved sea creatures. There are also plenty of shells and other items for sale. The shop itself could use quite a bit of work though. The floors are very uneven in certain spots and the glass display cases were a bit foggy. I understand this is just an older building and it would take $$$ to fix up, and maybe that's not the vibe they are going for - but I can only imagine how cool it could be if it didn't seem so old and rundown.

They have shells from all over the world as well as dried creatures like puffer fish, starfish and sharks. They have some huuuuge shells and sell cool things like lamps, wind chimes, and jewelry. It wasn't as much of a museum as it was a gift shop. They had the typical touristy crap like shot glasses, snow globes, etc. It's a nice place to stop and kill some time--and it's free! They have a good deal where you can choose 6 shells for $5 and they have a nice selection to choose from.

I found this studio a few months ago when I decided to reinvent my July 24th for 2025. Last year on this day in 2024 I had surgery to remove the extra skin after losing 165lbs from 311.5lbs and the surgery I came home and unfortunately started bleeding internally and had to go back to the ER for additional surgery in total I lost 4 pints of blood and needed a transfusion. That day I spent most of the day stressed, panicked, unconscious/ in surgery for 10 plus hours unsure of what came next. I knew this year on July 24th I was gonna seize the day and do stuff relaxing and rejuvenating. This yoga session targeted stretching and zen through the class . There was a point where she mentioned to let go of the stuff that's behind us and release it and leave it at the beach. That moment felt great to really zone in the waves and everything at the shore to move past last year. The instructor was very attentive and made sure everyone understood each pose and directed us when to breathe. This was everything I needed for today, the beach setting and the yoga/zen. Beginners or advance levels can take this class. Thank you!

Having never been on a web cam before, I am able to use Zoom very effectively my phone or laptop for yoga where Erica and I see each other and speak to each other ... so it is just like having my own yoga instructor right next to me to give me instructions, encouragement, tweaks to my poses. And I can tell her if something hurts or ask her questions ... or just talk. It is so much fun!

The location is run by the artists, so that if you want to sell things you volunteer your time to help keep the shop open, through volunteering for the organization or working in the shop half a day. This really brings in a unique set of different prints and 3D art. We especially liked the woodworked surf boards. Everything we saw really was high quality. Each month has a different theme, while July and August are focused on Jersey Shore beaches. We had a great time walking around and finding places at different beaches that we've seen. Everyrhing is pretty affordable, and because so many different artists are represented, there are things for everyone. I'd definitely recommend stopping in, and chatting with whoever is working the desk. They're crazy passionate about the artists and what they do.

While rides were pleasant enough, there were two instances where drivers were exceptionally rude either to me, other passengers onboard or even people passing by. My first experience was taking the free Jitney from the AC train station. After letting some people off at Resorts, a passerby, possibly homeless started becoming aggressive towards the driver as he thought the Jitney was moving too closely to him as it backed up. The driver responded by driving quickly back towards this guy, like he was using the vehicle as a weapon. Then both the driver and the guy both exchanged several curse words, both yelling at the top of their lungs. What made matters worse is that the driver did not take me to my hotel, since it wasn't a casino. Instead, I had to walk with my luggage from near the Absecon Lighthouse to my hotel - the Wyndham Skyline Tower - a distance of almost a mile! My second experience was after The Who show at the Boardwalk Hall. After getting onboard, I tried to use the Jitney app and the extremely rude driver kept yelling at me to show me that I paid for the ride. I ended up paying for two rides as I was unfamiliar how to scan the ticket. While I would like to believe that most AC Jitney drivers are good workers, these two really were among the worst I've ever experienced. That's says something, since I use public transit alot and worked in the public transportation industry for nearly 25 years.

They don't allow people to stand so if the small bus is full you have to wait for the next bus. We saw a lot of different buses throughout our stay in Atlantic city. I thought it would be mostly tourists utilizing the buses but there were a lot of locals which is great for the community. The jitney was cheaper than uber and Lyft and we took advantage of this mode of transportation and would use it again when we're in the area.
