The verdict
Mixed · 56Mostly tourist-level content: fans enjoy the racing, beaches and event vibe, while the few residents-leaning signals are sparse and tied to crime and homelessness news, so the verdict is genuinely mixed.
- beaches
- racing events and nostalgia
- boardwalk and pier attractions
- family-friendly resort amenities
- warm memories from past visits
- boardwalk not full length
- closed or changed attractions
- crime and police headlines
- homelessness concerns
- tourist-only focus with little local detail
- Great for event and beach trips, less clear as a long-term base
- Many commenters are past visitors reminiscing rather than residents
- Local news hints at safety and homelessness challenges worth researching
- Resort-style stays are the main recommended way to experience it
- Limited evidence on remote-work infrastructure like internet quality
