Atlantic City New Jersey Wet Boardwalk Postcard

This postcard features the wet boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Photo credit: Bogdan Migulski, 2008. "The first boardwalk was built in 1870, along a portion of the beach to help hotel owners keep sand out of their lobbies. The idea caught on, and the boardwalk was expanded and modified several times in the following years. The historic length of the boardwalk, before the 1944 hurricane, was about 7 miles (11 km) and it extended from Atlantic City to Longport, through Ventnor and Margate. Today, it is 4.12 miles (6.63 km) long and 60 feet (18 m) wide, reinforced with steel and concrete. The combined length of the Atlantic City and Ventnor boardwalks—the boardwalk now ends at the Ventnor/Margate border—is approximately 5.75 miles (9.25 km), currently the world's longest boardwalk." - Wikipedia Enjoy your new Atlantic City New Jersey Wet Boardwalk Postcard!
