What says summer more than a stroll on the boardwalk? As a child, my yearly visit to Wildwood, NJ and its incredibly vibrant boardwalk was a highlight of my summer that has continued decades later. Whether it’s the value-packed (sometimes gaudy) stores, the never-ending parade of junk food, or the piers of carnival rides and attractions, there’s an incredible draw to boardwalks. The folks at Budget Travel have compiled a convenient list of America’s most awesome boardwalks from both coasts…and a few places in between.
