10 Best US Boardwalks

Once again National Geographic has brought us a fantastic top ten list. Summer may be coming to a close, but you can still sneak in a trip to one of these awesome Boardwalks to get your fill of rides, food, and games.

On the east coast you can visit Jersey's own Atlantic City. Did you know this 4 mileboardwalk was orginally laid down to keep beach lovers from tracking so much sand into hotels and onto the trains? Clever idea. Another tid-bit, Coney Island wasn't always family fun. In the 19th century it was known as "Sodom by the Sea" for it's brothels and gambling houses. And no, Coney Island is not closed. And of course the west coast houses the imfamour Venice Beach.
