Answer
Observation wheels and tall pier rides define the south-end Boardwalk skyline near Trimper’s and Jolly Roger at the Pier—exact placement can shift with seasons and renovations. Look up from the Inlet for the classic silhouette against ocean sunset. Verify which operator runs the wheel you see before you buy tickets at the wrong booth.
