Invented in New Jersey in the late 1800's, boardwalks were simple
walkways constructed to help keep sand out of hotel lobbies and railroad
parlor Cars. What a difference a century makes! Today the mile long
boardwalks found in Pt. Pleasant Beach and Seaside Heights/Seaside Park
are major centers of attraction and are lined with amusements, rides,
games of chance, arcades, miniature golf courses, restaurants, night
clubs, snack bars, boutique shops, gourmet candy shops, an aquarium, a
beach train, a water park and an antique Dentzel/Looff carousel. For
those whose tastes craves the simpler things in life, there also are
boardwalks such as the one in Lavellette and the southern mile of the
Seaside Park which offer little more than panaramic views of the ocean
front beach and an occasional gazebo offering a shady resting place.
Each of these boardwalks offer something special.
