Seniors in Atlantic County
Atlantic County runs from the casinos and boardwalk of Atlantic City inland to the farms and blueberry fields around Hammonton. Shore towns like Ventnor and Margate are quieter in the off season, and the Pine Barrens begin just west of the Garden State Parkway. NJ Transit buses and the Atlantic City Rail Line connect the county to Philadelphia.
