Our 4 miles of white sandy beaches and Atlantic Ocean offers a variety of amazing looks - from our historic Steel Pier, America's first Boardwalk and 8 Casino Resorts to the back bays and marshes with all their flora and fauna. We allow cars and trucks on the beach and Boardwalk for driving shots, have ample free parking, and of course, we're the perfect spot to film a surf scene. But there's much more than just the beach and Boardwalk! We invite you to browse through the many locations available on our website; we think you'll be surprised by what you find!

The Atlantic City Film Office is proud to offer free assistance for productions working within the City. With an understanding of the filming process and a thorough knowledge of Atlantic City, we help productions take advantage of a City that has much to offer filmmakers.
