George’s Candies

Ocean City, NJ | leisure | 0.5 to 1 hours

700 Boardwalk Ocean City, NJ 08226


Overview

George Koukoulis opened the shop at 7th and the Boardwalk in 1954, and its almond and coconut macaroons still come out of the oven every morning, $18 a dozen, boxed for the drive home or shipped across the country. The counters carry fudge by the pound in sea salt caramel, pecan turtle and peanut butter, salt water taffy, and chocolates, while a walk-up window scoops homemade ice cream from recipes the store traces to the early-1900s Boardwalk. Since 2003 the back of the store has held George's Breakfast Grille, with omelets, pancakes and fresh-squeezed orange juice, and a toy-and-gift section fills the rest. Open seven days, 7:30am to 11pm.
