Atlantic City Boardwalk
Said to be the world’s first boardwalk, the AC Boardwalk is definitely the world’s longest. At one time in history it ran about 7 miles (11km) in length until a hurricane in 1944. Nowadays it’s still vast, covering a distance of about 5.75 miles (9.25km).
You can walk along the length of the pier and enjoy easy access to many hotels and other attractions including several piers, jutting out into the ocean. The piers themselves have ample things to do including amusements, shops, entertainment and more.
