Ocean City Again Voted New Jersey's Favorite Beach

OCEAN CITY, NJ — The New York Yankees, Boston Celtics and Olympique Lyonnais (for the French football fans). Ocean City has joined this elite company as a place that's won it all for five straight years.

The public voted Ocean City as "New Jersey's Favorite Beach" for the fifth straight year in the NJ Sea Grant Consortium's contest. The vote ran from May to June.

Voting is also separated by county, so Ocean City earned the title of Cape May County's favorite beach.

The NJSGC created the beach competition in 2008 to encourage stewardship and pride in the "sand and surf" hotspots with some friendly competition. The organization began determining winners in individual counties in 2016.
