Boardwalks are essentially paths made of wooden planks, but not necessarily at a beach. Every boardwalk is unique! Some of these are beachfront, but some of these wrap through wetlands and cut across ponds. If I were you, I’d spend a day on each one and really get familiar with the paths. It would make for a great way to spend your Saturday mornings!
This extra wide boardwalk also includes covered benches to help you escape the heat. At half-a-mile long, this is great for a short walking date, especially if you stop at the cafe.
This one extends from the parking lot to the beach. Watching the grassland fade into the sand is mesmerizing.

This short walk to the beach is also the spot for many a wedding. It just has that fairy tale look about it, complete with panoramic views of the beach and swaying grass.
This board walk also has a railed observation area, perfect for looking out over the ocean. Feel free to cast a line from there, or just stick to a light stroll.
