Aunt Betty’s Ice Cream Shack Ocean City NJ is a Midtown stop for hand-dipped and soft-serve ice cream, warm waffles, and the kind of dessert run that usually turns into a full group order. The 21st Street location opened in 2006 and has that tropical little-shack feel that makes it part of the summer routine all by itself.

The menu includes house specialties like Betty’s Favorite, with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, peanut butter sauce, marshmallow topping, and crushed pretzels, along with the Bay Bird sundae, gelati, milkshakes, root beer floats, and non-dairy ice cream. They also do fun extras like the Dune Dog Delight for dogs, which fits the whole family-stop energy here.
