Atlantic City's Boardwalk is a 5.5-mile wooden promenade along the Atlantic Ocean beach β€” one of the oldest boardwalks in the United States, established in 1870. The majority of Atlantic City's casino resorts are directly on or adjacent to the Boardwalk, making this stretch the backbone of America's oldest gaming destination and a National Historic Landmark in its own right.
