One of the 10 best boardwalks in America is in New England, according to Fodor’s Travel
You'll find it in Maine.
Summer is drawing to a close, so it’s the perfect time for one last frolic on a boardwalk and New England has one of the best in America, according to Fodor’s Travel.
The travel publication released a list of the 10 best boardwalks in America on Monday and included Old Orchard Beach in Maine.
“Can summer already be ending? The long, lazy days and carefree nights slipping away? 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,” wrote Fodor’s Travel.

Here’s what Fodor’s Travel wrote about the boardwalk:
“Maine’s premier seaside playground since the 1880s, Old Orchard Beach—affectionately called OOB—gives off Jersey Shore vibes with its neon glow and boardwalk buzz. At its heart is Palace Playland, New England’s only beachfront amusement park, featuring 30 rides (including the new Sea Viper roller coaster) and the state’s largest arcade. The real showstopper, though, is the 600-foot pier jutting into the Atlantic, lined with lobster shacks, a nightclub, and souvenir stalls.”
Other boardwalks in the list include Atlantic City in New Jersey, Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, and Ocean City in Maryland.
