My father, William Hager, on his honeymoon in Atlantic City. The boardwalk or pier is in the background, 1945.
It's a pier

Your father was standing near the inlet, in front of the Garden Pier.
But I question the date: Atlantic City itself bought the privately owned pier in early 1944. That ballroom at the back was destroyed by a hurricane that fall.
If this picture was really taken in 1945, the man would be standing in front of a mass of twisted steel and jagged columns.
