BEST and WORST Beach Boardwalks of the Northeast US

Asbury Park resident here. Strongly disagree that Asbury is run down. The city has come a long way, and it has the most to do nightlife wise in the area. The downtown has a lot of really cool bars and shops. There's a great music scene here, and you can see bigger bands at the Stone Pony, smaller band at Asbury Lanes, and really underground bands in the church funny enough. The boardwalk isn't my favorite in NJ, but there's plenty of restaurants and cool things Silver Ball the pinball museum. The casino really could use some work, and it is pretty empty north of Convention Hall, so I hope to see more stuff open there. I would give the city another chance and for others dont be detered from visiting. I like your videos a lot, though, and I think the music you use is really cool

Great video! I went to Manasquan beach a couple years ago! Yeah, without a doubt, Atlantic City is the most lively beach town. Manasquan Beach, in the other hand, is not too lively, but is actually a really nice and clean beach, and is pretty empty, not too crowded, and there are no amusing parks there and not too many stores.

great work! :-)

I was surprised to see that Old Orchard Beach in Maine wasn’t listed either in the rankings or as an honorable mention. The town has the amusement parks and attractions you’d expect of seaside towns in the Northeast. But they lack the most important thing for this list: No boardwalk or promenade along the beach. How is it that OOB doesn’t have one?

Wildwood isn’t the best beach but it’s def the best boardwalk imo. But also Atlantic City isn’t as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I like AC’s boardwalk as well. If ur visiting AC theres really not much you’d need to be leaving the beach, casino, or boardwalk for but the very few things there are like the outlets or Lucy the elephant; they are completely safe.

Certainly a different view of the Atlantic City boardwalk than I have heard from numerous people. Hope you do an Atlantic City video in the near future. 1st time viewer. But, now I plan to watch 'Why New Jersey is slandered - and is it Fair? I remember a tour guy in Manhattan calling New Jersey the armpit of New York.

Good work but i disagree with where u put wildwood. It should be either 1 or 2. They have so many things to do including concerts on the beach.

Wildwood or Ocean City NJ are the best boardwalks. And I have been to many that you have listed . But everyone has there own opinion.

disagree Atlantic city is a dump anywhere off the boardwalk. ocean city or wildwood

Virginia is the northeast?

Wait, so do boardwalks in state parks not count or something? I'm trying to figure out how Jones Beach doesn't make it but Atlantic Beach does.

I wish sea towns and others to stop using the phrase boardwalk when a lot of them are paved or concrete, the word came from Atlantic City because the use wooden "boards" not plastic or paved or concrete. I went to many of your places here and laughed when every one in Virginia beach called that paved bike lane a boardwalk

Yeah, well….everyone has “opinions”
