Atlantic City is known for its bright lights and boardwalk thrills, but just steps away lies a different kind of pulse—one fueled by the fresh air and the call of the outdoors. Tony Boloney's, a local favorite for creative eats, anchors more than a culinary scene here; it’s a gateway to adventure. Whether you’re aiming to energize your day with a brisk walk along the beach or gear up for a bike ride through coastal trails, Atlantic City blends accessible outdoor activities with an urban edge.

Start your adventure with the Atlantic City Boardwalk: a 5.5-mile stretch where the ocean breeze dares you onward and the rhythmic push of Atlantic waves accompanies every step. The terrain is flat but demands endurance as the salty air carries the scent of both sea and Tony Boloney’s famous pies nearby. Ideal for walkers and casual runners, the boardwalk is your first intimate meeting with Atlantic City’s environment.

For those seeking more challenge, the nearby Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge offers trails winding through salt marshes and pine forests. Covering roughly 2 to 5 miles depending on your chosen route, these paths rise gently over dunes and dipping creeks, inviting you to read the story of coastal ecology but never outpacing you. Expect a mix of sand and packed earth underfoot, where wildlife like herons and osprey watch your progress, curious but wary.

If two wheels are your preferred ride, the beach bike paths stretch for nearly 12 miles, connecting the city's key coastal points with level pavement and controlled crossings. These routes invite cyclists of all levels to engage with the environment—whether cruising for views or as part of a vigorous workout.

Before you set out, prep includes hydrating thoroughly and wearing footwear with adequate support—sneakers for the boardwalk, trail shoes for refuge routes, and bike-specific sandals or shoes for cycling. Timing your adventure for mornings or late afternoons often provides cooler air and softer light, enhancing both the experience and your photos.

Tony Boloney's isn’t just a destination; it’s a reward waiting at the end of your journey. Post-adventure, refuel with one of their creative, hearty pizzas designed to satisfy your well-earned appetite. Here, you connect the thrill of the outdoors with a taste experience that's uniquely Atlantic City.

Whether you’re walking, biking, or hiking, the city challenges you—not to conquer the environment, but to respect and engage with it fiercely. Atlantic City and Tony Boloney’s together shape an outdoor experience that’s practical, invigorating, and unmistakably real.
