BEACH STREET U.S.A.

During the summer months, the oceanfront comes alive nightly with special themed entertainment along the sidewalks of Atlantic Avenue from 17th to 25th Streets. During Beach Street U.S.A., puppets, bands, jugglers, magicians, and others entertain crowds right on the sidewalks. Free live concerts and theatrical productions take place seven nights a week along the oceanfront.
