Salt water taffy is closely associated with Atlantic City and its boardwalk. Despite the name, it is a sweet, chewy confection rather than a piece of candy made with seawater. Assorted boxes remain a familiar shore souvenir.
The boardwalk’s history is longer than any one treat. On a visit, compare flavors at a local shop, take a walk, and leave time for the beach or other attractions. Confirm shop hours outside the peak season.
New Jersey includes the candy among its iconic foods. Find more trip ideas in our New Jersey guide.
