We've got people down here who have worked for other hotels and have been doing a fantastic job for years. Other properties see the Boardwalk and don't want us. We feel like it's a black mark against us.

The aptly named Long Beach Peninsula, 28 miles of sand, stretches like a beckoning finger along the Pacific Ocean at Washington's southwest corner.

I love this boardwalk, even if it is one of the 'board-less' varieties. Actually, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk refers to both the seaside amusement park and the concrete path that runs through it.

Coastal nirvana.

The Kemah Boardwalk draws 4 million visitors a year to this once-sleepy town on Galveston Bay near Houston. In addition to showcasing overpriced, tourist-oriented restaurants, the boardwalk also includes amusement rides, shops, an unpredictably programmed water-jet fountain (a definite kid favorite), and a surprisingly nice boutique hotel called the Boardwalk Inn.
More than any other, this boardwalk brings back that exhilarating teenage sense of summer-vacation freedom and possibility. Throbbing with energy day and night, fueled by Thrasher's fries soaked in vinegar (a true delicacy), the 'walk' features cool reversible benches that flip back and forth, depending on whether you want to gaze at the Atlantic Ocean or the passing parade along the boardwalk itself.
A boardwalk in spirit if not in composition it's concrete this path runs 3 miles past beachfront hotels, restaurants, stores, museums, bike-rental shops and street performers.
