Shop Local This Holiday Season: Ocean City Boardwalk Stores Still Open

OCEAN CITY, NJ — Even though the island has slowed down until spring, many local businesses are still open, and they provide a great opportunity to stock up on holiday gifts while shopping small.

Wintertime is already a slower time for shore businesses, and advocates for small businesses say that it is more important than ever to support them coming out of the pandemic and into record-high inflation.

So while the annual Small Business Saturday event has come and gone, there's no reason to stop shopping small throughout the season.

The Ocean City Boardwalk Merchants Association put together a list of businesses that are still open this season and their schedules.
