Father's Day in Atlantic City

Atlantic City packs a lot into one day for Dad. The local fleet runs both inshore trips — fluke in the back bays and along the surf, sea bass on the nearby wrecks — and offshore runs toward the canyons where the first tuna and mahi arrive in June. Add free beaches, casino steakhouses, and championship golf nearby, and you have a celebration with something for every kind of father.

With Father's Day 2026 landing on June 21, the summer solstice, you get maximum daylight: a morning on the water, an afternoon round of golf or a walk down the boardwalk, and a steak dinner with a sunset that arrives later than any other night of the year.

Prefer a relaxed day? Skip the boat and book a tee time at one of the area courses, then settle in for a celebratory dinner at a classic AC steakhouse or a long brunch overlooking the ocean.
