A Message from the Mayor...
 
"I am thankful to all of the residents who took the time to cast their votes on an issue that was very personal to our community.  I believe family tradition is strongly supported in our town, and BYOB did not follow that tradition.
 
I respect the BYOB proponents for their campaign, and thank all of our residents and guests for maintaining the Ocean City tradition of courteousness during the days leading up to the election. 
 
Thanks to the mandate cast by the voters, I believe the brand of Ocean City as “America’s Greatest Family Resort” is secure for the next generations of residents, guests, and businesses. 
 
I look forward to working with the new council members and continuing the progress we have made during the past two years
 
I am hopeful that as a City we can now move on to an outstanding summer season." 

Jay Gillian, Mayor

 

 

Welcome to The City of Ocean City, New Jersey!

Ocean City is a town rich in history and a deep sense of community. Families have been vacationing in Ocean City for generations and many have made Ocean City their year round home.

Our residents enjoy award winning schools, world-class recreation facilities and outstanding municipal services from all City Departments including Police and Fire. Residents participate in activities for every age and interest including the cultural arts, music and theatre as well as sports and recreation programs available at our many parks, playgrounds and City facilities.

The City also maintains and operates a Municipal Airport, Nine-hole golf course, Aquatic and Fitness Center as well as the famed Ocean City Pops Orchestra.

Ocean City is also host to over 200 family friendly special events held year round. Many of our events are popular family traditions including the Night in Venice Boat Parade in July, our exciting Indian Summer Weekend in October featuring the mile long block party and fireworks, and our family friendly New Year’s Eve Celebration, First Night.

If you are vacationing in Ocean City, I know you’ll enjoy our seven miles of beautiful beaches and exciting boardwalk lined with shops, restaurants and amusements. And be sure to visit our unique and charming downtown shops and restaurants located in the heart of town on Asbury Avenue.

 

I am truly proud to serve as Mayor for this great community and hope you and your family enjoy your time in America’s Greatest Family Resort.

 

Jay Gillian, Mayor
