    Great place to relax this time of year. The crowds are down, and I like sitting in a beach chair, book in hand, hearing the waves.

    Fantastic destination during a boardwalk stroll. Great evening activity for a family. Great views from atop the ferris wheel.

    So many fun and interesting stores up & down around Asbury Ave, but don't miss the shops around the corners from the main street either! They are tucked away sometimes, ready to be discovered and will delight you when you find them. Go ahead, drive around slow, until you learn where they all are and enjoy!

    We walked the trail to the beach. I would recommend bug spray, but the wide expanse of beach was worth it. Beautiful place to walk.

    What a great idea during the difficult times of retail in an internet based world - tons of shop owners sharing space. Set up similar to an antique shop but with varied and all new retail items. Gifty items and mostly higher quality than what you find on the boardwalk. Esp ideal on a rainy day or for an air conditioned break.

    This was my third visit to Glazed Over Studio on Asbury Avenue in Ocean City, NJ. Just as my prior visits, they did not disappoint. Overall, a truly outstanding experience.

    a) The studio is warm and welcoming. The studio is well lit and there is plenty of room to get creative. The tables are large and create a comfortable, creative environment.

    b) the workers were very attentive to my needs. They had an excellent selection of colored glazes and wide selection of brushes and materials. The workers were very knowledgeable and approachable. The staff was not pushy or overbearing.

    c) they stock a WIDE variety of different ceramic pieces from which to choose. From simple plates and coffee mugs, to beach /surfboard style items, to elaborate holiday pieces, to cars and trucks, to pieces geared toward young children, Glazed Over Studio had it all, in many price points. I recently painted a mug and an antique "light up" holiday truck. (See photos).

    d) My pieces were ready when promised. They have two on-site kilns and my pieces were beautifully fired and ready when promised.

    e) I never felt rushed. This place was very busy and they did not rush me at all.

    I've been going to OCNJ all my life and never stopped in the welcome center. I recently stopped by to purchase beach tags, and had a very welcoming experience. The ladies were so nice and helpful. Love you OCNJ!!!!

    We really appreciated the individualized tour Alice gave us during our visit. Her knowledge of the subject matter and insight was terrific. We have a real appreciation for her, the original folks that manned the US Life Saving Station 30, and for the team that made this museum possible! Great job by all!!

    It’s a bit pricey for what they offer if you are a teen or an adult. There are only a few slides. For little kids, there is a really nice pirate ship with slides and water shooters all over the place. My kids loved this park as young children but as teens, they have outgrown it. The lazy river is pretty nice. If you do pay for the all day pass, make sure you use your mini golf tickets that are included. It is actually a nicer course than Congo Falls. I am giving it a 4 not 5 because of the high cost for what you get combined with the bathrooms being in bad shape. But if my kids were younger, I would return. Overall, I still recommend it for a break from the beach.

    What a great little art shop. A real hidden gem on Ocean City. A bit off of the main drag, but worth seeking out. All original pieces from local English artist Tony Troy. Also a great place to get locally made jewelry pieces. Recently Tony produced a children's book called "Mice and the Moon". Locally it has been a real hit. Definitely worth stopping in to meet Tony and to see what finds he has for sale. His work is fairly renowned in both Ocean City and Savannah areas.
