800 Ocean Ave, Ocean City, NJ 08226


Overview

The Hobby Horse has scooped at 800 Ocean Avenue, the 8th Street corner a block in from the boardwalk, since the summer of 1994, a family-owned parlor with a nostalgic streak. The hard ice cream case runs past 40 flavors, Maine Blueberry, Sticky Bun, Cannoli and Salted Caramel Pretzel Crunch among them, with soft serve, water ice and gelati alongside. Sundaes carry family names: Duke's Famous Banana Split, Michael's Carousel Waffle, Marc's five-scoop Mega Sundae and the Dark Side of the Moon, mostly $8 to $11. It runs May through October, with summer nights stretching to midnight and a few outdoor tables for the post-beach crowd.
