Here's what USA Today had to say about Ocean Beach Park Boardwalk:

"This New England gem combines classic boardwalk charm with modern amenities, anchored by its pristine half-mile beach and Olympic-size swimming pool. The spray park and triple water slide keep kids entertained, while adults appreciate casual dining options overlooking Long Island Sound. Spot ospreys and herons along the nearby nature trail, play a round of mini golf, or line up for an old-school carousel ride."

The lists also features notable beach boardwalks in New Jersey and California.
