A sunny day spent strolling the boardwalk is tops for pure, unadulterated summer fun
Atlantic City
If you love Vegas for its casinos and the Jersey Shore for its boardwalks, you’ll delight in both in Atlantic City, home to the nation’s oldest (dating back to 1870) and longest (5.75 miles including the portion that extends to nearby Ventnor City) boardwalk. If you can pull yourself away from the attending casinos' slot machines, you’ll be rewarded with mini-golf, beach bars, amusement rides at historic Steel Pier, and free summer concerts. Forget what you’ve heard about A.C.’s sketchy rep, as the town and boardwalk have experienced a renaissance in recent years, with new upscale casino resorts and luxe shopping outlets being added to the mix. One of the best ways to take it all in is by Rolling Chair, a canopied pedicab-like contraption built for two (and pedaled by someone else), with salt water taffy in hand.
