""Before it's too late, head to your nearest boardwalk for one last chance to dig your toes into the sand, stroll the boardwalk and shout at the top of your lungs on rollercoasters," the travel guide informs. "We've gathered our favorite boardwalks from coast to coast - from storied classics to fresh newcomers, including a few unsung gems." The No. 1 pick? That'd be Santa Cruz, home of the Giant Dipper coaster and other nostalgic, carnie-inflected fun."
"Summer weather is far from over in California, where temperatures can skyrocket well into October. What better way to enjoy these last squeezins' of heat than soaking them in on a beach boardwalk? And the Golden State has at least one outstanding boardwalk, according to a new ranking from Fodor's Travel on " The 10 Best Boardwalks Across the United States.""
Santa Cruz tops a ranking of the ten best boardwalks in the United States, noted for the Giant Dipper coaster and nostalgic carnival attractions. The selection includes Ocean City, Maryland; Virginia Beach, Virginia; Navy Pier in Chicago; Coney Island in New York; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Atlantic City, New Jersey; Long Beach, Washington; Seaside, Oregon; and Old Orchard Beach, Maine. The recommendations emphasize sandy beaches, boardwalk strolls and rollercoaster thrills as ways to enjoy late-season warmth. The choices span coast to coast and mix storied classics with newer and lesser-known boardwalk destinations.
