Getting Around on Bikes
Bicycles are allowed on the city's Boardwalk every day from 6:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. Riders will enjoy Atlantic City's most notable landmark in the early morning hours, with the crisp sea air in their hair and the sights of the city all around them. Bicycle rental facilities are found at two separate locations on the Boardwalk. Bike-riding is an enjoyable way to burn calories and explore this historic part of Atlantic City at the same time.
Walk the Boardwalk
Atlantic City is a gambling mecca, a popular tourist town and a seaside city, but it's also a locale that's rich in history. It would be a shame to visit Atlantic City without visiting the city's most famous attraction: the Boardwalk. The Boardwalk was originally constructed in the late 1800s, though half of it was destroyed in a 1940s hurricane and later rebuilt. Today, the Boardwalk has its own history and serves as the backbone of Atlantic City. Walking is always a healthy activity, and you may stroll or power-walk the Boardwalk whenever it is open.
Golfing
Atlantic City is well known for gaming, shopping and great food, but the city is also quickly gaining a reputation for having some of the best golf courses in the word. ForbesTraveler rated Atlantic City as one of the Top 10 Golf Cities in America. Several stunning golf courses make Atlantic City a great destination for golf enthusiasts and other athletically-minded tourists.
McCullough's Emerald Golf Links is designed to play and look like Irish and Scottish courses in Europe, with large fairways and shapely greens. The Vineyard Golf course at Renault is a championship course that runs next to a working vineyard.
Beaches
Take advantage of Atlantic City's oceanfront location by enjoying entertaining, healthy outdoor activities on the beach. Go surfing at Crystal Beach, Downtown Beach or Delaware Beach. No lifeguards are on duty at these surf-friendly beaches, so take a surfing buddy with you. For less-experienced surfers, lessons are available.
Kayaking and windsurfing are offers at the Jackson Avenue Beach, which is a no-lifeguard, no-bathing zone beach. Rentals are not available, so bring your own gear if you plan to partake in either activity. Beach volleyball is offered at several different Atlantic City beaches. Many of the city's beachfront hotels provide large nets so guests may enjoy a friendly game any time.
Luxury Spas
Atlantic City offers more than thrilling attractions, great athletics and exciting sights. The city is also a mecca for luxury, for those visitors who want to enjoy a little healthy pampering. Visit one of the city's spas, found at many of the large casino resorts, to enjoy body treatments, saunas and steam rooms designed to make you feel and look better. The spa facility at Caesar's offers a fully-stocked fitness room with personal concierge service to help guests design an individualized fitness plan.
