Farmer And Mechanics Bank In New Jersey
Located in South Jersey's Cape May County, Ocean City was known as Peck's Beach during the early 1800's. It was a whaling community habited by fisherman and a few farmers. In 1879, four Methodist ministers arrived, changed the name to Ocean City and set out to create "A Moral Seaside Resort". Known as a Christian retreat, the seaside town banned alcohol and enacted Blue Laws that prohibited bathing, shopping, recreation and other acts of "personal comfort" on Sundays. These laws remained in effect until 1987. In spite of these restrictions, Ocean City flourished as a shore town and today is one of the most popular beaches in the country.

All beachgoers must buy and display badges that can be purchased for the day, the week or the season. Beaches are wheelchair accessible. The Surf Chair Program, based out of the Ocean City Sports & Civic Center (6th Street at the Boardwalk), accepts reservations for their chairs with a call to (609) 525-9304.
