Johnson’s Popcorn Ocean City NJ (14th Street) is one of those Boardwalk staples you don’t really plan for — you just follow the smell and end up with a bucket.

They’re known for their warm caramel popcorn, cooked in copper kettles and mixed by hand right in front of you. The caramel and cheddar mix is a go-to, and once you start on it, it usually doesn’t last long.
