Look at sea isle city, ocean city, longport, margate, brigantine, stone harbor, Avalon, and Cape may. Avoid wildwood. Any of those places are within 30 mins of the ocean city boardwalk which is great for kids.


I should add though, that it will not be cool in august. Last thing: the cape may zoo is incredible!

+1 but everything is probably already booked. Try Old Orchard Beach in Maine or go farther north to Yarmouth area or Bar Harbor.

How so? What's different about it?


It has a boardwalk with amusement/water parks, arcades, escape rooms, a music venue, and of course dozens of ice cream and pizza places. There are quieter areas too not right at the boardwalk. It's a dry town, so the crowd is generally more well-behaved than some other shore towns.
