Confirmed from Long Beach Boardwalk's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Beaches, ice cream and other restaurants, a boardwalk and an arcade all feature at this tourist attraction.
What runners say about Long Beach Boardwalk
“There are incredible views of the Atlantic + Long Beach, the boardwalk is very clean & well-kept, and there’s lots of parking available near boardwalk entrance sites.”

Nice place to do an evening walk with the family or friends. Free parking. No fee for the Boardwalk. You can bring your own bikes or scooters if you want to have more fun. Having bathrooms at every 1/2 blocks and a few restaurants too.
The Long Beach Boardwalk offers a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a family beach day. The high tides add to the beauty, making it a picturesque spot for a stroll or simply enjoying the ocean view. It's a serene escape with something for everyone. Highly recommended!
Beautiful romantic broad walk it's a beautiful peaceful place for a gorgeous sunset's. At the beginning you'll see a few bars and towards the center of the broad walk you'll see a hotdog, burger place they sell refreshments and a few meals mostly non alcoholic beverages.
It’s a huge boardwalk! All kinds of people. We went on a weekday so it wasn’t too busy. The boardwalk is nice and has some popup stands along the way. There’s also bike rentals which is super fun. Not a bad beach to spend the day and do some activities!
