Several lively piers jut off the Boardwalk, with wildly popular carnival rides on Central and Steel Piers. Pick up souvenirs and homemade taffy on a brisk walk along the wooden planks or flag down one of the rolling chairs for a small fee. Stretching for six kilometres, the Atlantic City Boardwalk frames the shoreline with dozens of nostalgic shops, cafes, ice cream stalls and carnival games. The action here is nonstop, featuring a beloved oceanfront boardwalk, kilometres of sandy beaches, kid-friendly piers and a string of gambling casinos. Atlantic City, often referred to as “Vegas of the East Coast”, sparkles both day and night as the main entertainment centre of the Atlantic Seaboard.
