When the summer hits and the temperatures rise, that’s when the real fun in Atlantic City begins—the city truly comes alive, unfurling into an adult playground.
Whether you want to sequester yourself away in the luxuries of Ocean Casino Resort or prefer to explore the vibrant carnival-like atmosphere of the Atlantic City Boardwalk, there are countless opportunities to soak in the sun, sand, and celebration.
Are you ready to make some memories?
#1 Go for a Dip
Want to cool off from the summer sun without getting sandy?
Then, head on over to the Eclipse pool—the perfect place for basking under the sun, diving into your favorite book, indulging in a leisurely swim, or savoring a chilled cocktail of your choice. Located on the Lobby Level, the indoor/outdoor pool is open and kept heated year-round, boasting incredible scenic views of the ocean and coastline.
Fancy an exclusive soiree? Reserve a Daybed & Cabana and luxuriate in private poolside dining, drinks, and even a soothing massage.
Or, if you want to soak in the family fun, simply claim an open lounge chair by the pool deck and enjoy the hustle and bustle.
#2 Take an Ocean Cruise

#3 Party at the HQ2 Beachclub
When it comes to beachside partying, few destinations can rival the experience offered by HQ2 Beachclub. There’s nothing quite as exhilarating as a pool-side rave.
Nestled adjacent to the legendary Atlantic City Boardwalk, HQ2 Beachclub captures the true essence of a summer paradise party scene. With 360-degree vistas of the stunning Atlantic, a full-service bar, and a world-class DJ setup, HQ2 is designed to host some of the biggest artists in the world; scheduled headliners include Tiesto, Steve Aoki, Above and Beyond, Alesso, and more.
This hub of high energy and indulgence boasts all the modern amenities VIPs might expect, including:

- More than 30 VIP sections spread across the lower and upper decks
#4 Dance at the HQ2 Nightclub
The party doesn't end with the setting sun in AC. That’s just when the fun begins.
Once the sun goes down, beachgoers swap their bathing suits for night-time chic and the day club also morphs from a sunny extravaganza to an electrifying nightlife experience at HQ2 Nightclub.
The two-level destination is home to both the primary Nightclub as well as the Mezzanine. Either locale provides a place where guests can drink, dance, socialize, and enjoy world-renowned musical talent.
Put simply, HQ2 Nightclub is the place to party in AC. That’s why it’s been named:
- 2019 Nightclub of the Year – Atlantic City Weekly
- Best Bottle Service – 2020 Nightlife Awards
- 100 World’s Best Nightclubs – International Nightlife Congress
#5 Relax at Nola’s Bar & Lounge
If your idea of nighttime revelry leans more towards intimate conversations, live music, and refined sips rather than high-energy fist-pumping, Nola's Bar & Lounge at Ocean Casino Resort is your sanctuary.
Sprawling across 2,800 square feet of elegantly designed space, Nola's Bar & Lounge is an upscale retreat where refined taste meets a laid-back seaside vibe that offers both craft beers, fine wines, and specialty cocktails.
Open to guests Thursday through Sunday, with live music every Friday and Saturday, come and see why this jazzy spot was voted Best Lounge by Casino Player’s Best of Dining & Nightlife Awards 2022.

Who needs walls and a roof when the radiant sun, endless sky, and sandy beach invite you to a celebration of summer?
Atlantic City's coastline isn't just a beach—it's a communal gathering spot, a playground, and a grand stage for unforgettable moments. Bathe in the golden sunlight, let the waves tickle your toes, and (discreetly) enjoy your favorite refreshments while the rhythmic sound of the surf sets the backdrop. Your seaside escapades can include:
- Beach games
- Picnics
- Sunset watching
- Yoga
- Bonfires
