One of the bigger beaches in Atlantic City in the background is the Rainforest Cafe and the formerly Trump Tower which is ironic because this used to be a segregated Beach we're only blacks would go back in the days anyway everything's all good now you can walk underneath a pier and the waves come in you can also fish under there very close to the Atlantic City Convention Center which is in the backdrop

Good beach, historical site for African Americans and it’s right on the boardwalk. If you’re coming to Atlantic City come here 100%. Beach rentals for chairs and stuff available. Enjoy!!

We went every Saturday and Sunday. My mother would pack a cooler and my father would drive one hour from Germantown, Philadelphia. We would swim and eat and walk the boardwalk. In the evening as children, we would rinse off the at the shower on the boardwalk. Then we would change behind towels that our parents held up, and then go on the rides at the Steel pier. It was so much fun and we loved seeing family and friends year after year. My mother was a sixteen year old beauty when Mosley took...
