THE BATTIINC; HOUR, OCEAN ClIV while the hotels and boarding houses are all located within acomparatively short distance of the Boardwalk and beach, andall are easy of access to the railroad stations. The old restric-tions still hold, the result of which is prohibition against liquordealing. Especially worthy of note is the splendid bathing beach, forits location at the centre of the concave dip of the coast line,with a barrier of shoals in frt)nt, makes it one of the best pro-tected points on the whole long Jersey Shore. Northeast galeshave little effect on the gentl_\- shelving beach. Broken on thesentinel shoals, the waves roll landward in swelling breakers,making the bathing particularly delightful. Moreover, the beachis hard and smooth and entirely free from holes, washouts,and quicksands. It makes an ideal course for automobiles. Thestreets of Ocean City are well laid out and graded with vitrifiedbrick gutters.
