Live Webcams in Atlantic City

Atlantic City, on a barrier island off the New Jersey shore, invented the Boardwalk, and the live webcams in Atlantic City stay on it: the boards themselves, with the arcades and casino fronts on one side and the beach and the Atlantic on the other, busy with strollers, rolling chairs and gulls. It is America’s original seaside promenade, still doing the job it was built for. AC, as the East Coast calls it, keeps Eastern Time, UTC−5 and UTC−4 in summer, so a European evening is a Boardwalk afternoon and the neon comes on around a British midnight. The Boardwalk runs some four miles along the oceanfront, most of it lined with the casinos that arrived in 1978. June to September fills the beach; the boards stay open all year, and a winter storm on the beach is a show of its own.
