Boardwalk (historical site)

Boardwalk refers to a historic wooden walkway, notably associated with beach resorts, that originated in the 19th century in the United States. One of the most famous examples is the Atlantic City Boardwalk in New Jersey, built in 1870. This promenade was designed to provide a pleasant walkway for visitors, protect the beach from erosion, and stimulate tourism. Over time, boardwalks have become iconic locales featuring shops, restaurants, and entertainment, representing coastal leisure culture. Today, they are cherished for their nostalgic charm and connection to seaside traditions.
