Answer
The Boardwalk, Inlet area, and nearby beach blocks offer classic oceanfront views when shows launch over the water. Arrive early for railing space with kids; farther north on the Boardwalk can be calmer but farther from the launch point. Bring a light layer—onshore breezes cool down after sunset.
