Infinite ocean views, unforgettable flavors, heart-pounding casino experiences, and electric dance floors—this is just a taste of what Atlantic City has to offer, even if you’re flying solo. 

The Atlantic City Boardwalk is the perfect destination for solo travelers: whether you’re striking out on your first solo vacation or enjoying your tenth season of vacation solitude. But what can people without travel buddies expect from AC? Which specific activities are tailor-made for them? 

In this guide for solo travelers in Atlantic City, we’re diving into lodging options, must-taste dining experiences, tips for flying solo, and so much more. 

Where to Stay

People traveling alone have numerous options for Atlantic City Boardwalk hotels—but one beacon of relaxation, big wins, and undeniable fun stands out in the crowd. 

Ocean Casino Resort is the place for solo travelers to hang their hats and rest their heads after full days of adventure in Atlantic City. Our slice of resort life has something for every traveler:

• High-energy experiences – Whether you’re looking to let loose at a rock concert, embrace the suspense of a high-stakes game of blackjack, or feel the heart-pounding beats of Atlantic City nightlife, we can cater to your high-octane tastes.
• Rest and relaxation – That said, there’s no shortage of R&R opportunities here: lounge by our Eclipse Indoor/Outdoor Pool (the best pool in Atlantic City) all year long, take an indulgent trip to our award-winning Exhale Spa + Bathhouse, or embrace a fresh ‘do at Bangz Salon & Blow Dry Lounge. 

No matter your vacation standards, Ocean Casino Resort won’t just meet them—we’re determined to exceed them. 

What to Eat

What about solo dining on the Boardwalk? You have to try some fan-favorite concepts like:

• Harper’s – Often regarded as the best brunch in Atlantic City, Harper’s offers a scrumptious menu of must-taste dishes. 
• Amada – The brainchild of renowned chef Jose Garces, Amada is the home of Andalucía-inspired flavors in an undeniably well-appointed setting. If you want to feel like a VIP, this is the place to book a dinner reservation. 

Our recommendation for solo travelers? Make a reservation for dining (even if you want to keep it casual). Don’t take the chance of missing out on your next favorite meal. 

Local Sights to See

What should solo travelers make a point to see while they’re staying in Atlantic City? A few solo-friendly Boardwalk classics include:

• Ocean Beach – The glittering, vast Atlantic Ocean is the heart of AC: it’s the source of our soothing soundscape, picturesque views, and undeniable beachside vibe. 
• Steel Pier – For a classic midway experience (complete with carnival rides and pier food favorites), head to Steel Pier. Just a ten-minute walk from Ocean Casino Resort, this is the perfect destination for seaside sightseeing. 
• Playground Pier – Looking for a shopping destination with an ocean view? Check out Playground Pier. 

Solo Activities

Aside from enjoying the flavors and sights of AC, what should you add to your itinerary to round out your trip? We recommend:

• Grabbing front-row seats to a show – Whether you’re a standup comedy fanatic or your favorite band is coming to town, Atlantic City is the home of world-class entertainment. Ovation Hall is one of the hottest venues for household name acts, and our events calendar is always stacked with must-see acts.
• Exploring the nightclub scene – There’s no denying that Atlantic City nightlife is second to none. Looking for a nightlife beacon complete with VIP experiences and unmatched entertainment? HQ2 Nightclub is your venue. Book a VIP table to skip the velvet rope.

Tips for Flying Solo in Atlantic City

Other than specific recommendations, what else should you know before heading to AC for a solo excursion?

First-time visitors and long-time Boardwalk devotees alike always find something new to explore on the Boardwalk. 
• Ask locals for recommendations – Don’t be afraid to ask your bartender, dealer, or masseuse about their favorite places to eat, dance, and revel on the Boardwalk. You might just discover a gem.
