Club Scene
If you are looking to have a good time, walk along the boardwalk where you will find many bars and clubs. The beach is also right there for when you want to relax on the water.
Driving tip: if you take south shore drive all the way down, it will take you right to the oceanfront. With little to no traffic I managed to arrive to the beach in 15 minutes.
