The Atlantic City Boardwalk is a must-see destination no matter the occasion. But it’s a truly exceptional place to propose—between the ocean views and the near-endless activities for celebrating couples, this is the perfect place to raise a toast to forever.

Not sure where to start planning romantic getaways in NJ? We’re here to help. In this guide, we’re breaking down the perfect proposal day, complete with pre-knee activities, romantic spots where you can pop the question, and potential post-proposal celebration venues.

First: The Perfect Proposal Day

Unless you’re planning on a sunrise proposal (and, if so, just add these to the docket after your intended leaps into your arms), you’ll need a few couples-friendly activities to start your special day on the right foot. Here are a few ideas from Ocean Casino Resort’s experts.

Scrumptious Brunch at Harper’s

If you’re looking for the perfect romantic breakfast (complete with mimosas), you simply can’t miss Harper’s—the best brunch bites on the Boardwalk.

Whether you share a few dishes or opt for smaller plates and a few drinks, Harper’s is the place to fuel up before your all-day celebration of love (and your very important question later).

Reservations are encouraged: book your table now.

A Dip into Luxury

After some breakfast bites, consider joining your other half at one of Ocean Casino Resort’s most picturesque venues: the Eclipse Indoor/Outdoor Pool.

What makes this the perfect spot for soon-to-be-newlyweds?

Views to die for – If you’re looking to truly take in the stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, this is the place: and you can lounge on a chaise or take a dip while you bask in the sight of the big blue.
Proximity to vittles – Want to lounge with a cocktail? The Eclipse Pool is conveniently located near the Lobby Bar. Need a snack after a swim? Grab a bite at Caffeccino.
Year-round comfort – The Eclipse Pool is heated all year long—even if it’s not a perfect day to sunbathe, this is always a comfortable place to relax poolside.

Pre-Proposal Glow

After a bite and a dip, consider treating your soon-to-be-spouse to a spa treatment at Exhale Spa + Bathhouse.

But both of you deserve to feel your best before your big moment—this is a great excuse to splurge on a couples spa treatment.

Couples massages are some of our most popular experiences for lovebirds, and we offer three treatments guaranteed to rejuvenate:

Fusion massage
Flow massage
Deep tissue massage

No matter which treatment you choose, a couples massage is a romantic, relaxing break from reality—and a great way to ease the pre-proposal jitters.
