Johnson’s Popcorn Ocean City NJ (6th Street) is one of those Boardwalk stops you smell before you see. Once you do, stopping usually isn’t up for debate.

They’re best 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 — sweet, salty, and easy to finish faster than planned.
