Ocean Casino Resort has made a $1,000 donation to The Marine Mammal Stranding Center; which is the only federally-authorized animal hospital in the State of New Jersey that responds to marine mammals and sea turtles in distress and provides medical treatment. They are further committed to the well-being of marine mammals and to inspire responsible stewardship of our oceans through educational programs.

Ocean Casino is the proud supporter of a new interactive Educational Display at the Marine Mammal Stranding Center that will give young visitors a hands-on experience while learning about the ocean and it's many treasures. 

Ocean Casino Resort has made a $1,000 donation to The Absecon Lighthouse.

New Jersey's tallest lighthouse awaits visitors at Pacific and Rhode Island Avenues in Atlantic City, within walking distance from Ocean Casino Resort.  Take an amazing journey into time and above it all as you ascend the 228 steps of the Absecon Lighthouse.

You'll see breathtaking 360 degree views of the Atlantic City skyline and up top you'll come face-to-face with the original first-order Fresnel Lens.  The lighthouse's recent multi-million dollar restoration also includes a stunning replica of the Lightkeeper's dwelling, an educational museum, charming gift shop, Oil House exhibit and expansive grounds.  Find time to stroll our 21 bed Community Garden and play on our 2-acre lawn.  Dogs on leashes are welcome.  For information, hours, programs, and events, visit www.abseconlighthouse.org or call (609) 449-1360.

National Geographic states that an estimated 8 million tons of plastic enters our oceans every year. Beach cleanups are essential to help reduce litter, protect our ocean, and raise awareness about plastic pollution. Ocean Casino Resort team members will help clean up our coastline, spanning 20 beachfront acres, on Wednesday, June 7. We love Ocean Beach!
