Myrtle Beach Boardwalk Tops Condé Nast Traveler's List of Best U.S. Boardwalks

Myrtle Beach Boardwalk Tops Condé Nast Traveler s List of Best U.S. Boardwalks

Condé Nast Traveler recently ranked the top 9 boardwalks in the U.S., with the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk claiming the #1 spot.

According to Condé Nast Traveler, “Though it’s one of the newer boardwalks in the country, built in 2010, it has quickly become a staple on the eastern seaboard. The 1.2-mile walkway is filled with everything you’d find on the historic ones—shops, rides, jugglers, and restaurants—with a bit more of a modern edge. Think Art Burger Sushi Bar over Nathan’s hot dogs.”

“We’re not surprised the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk made the list,” said Brad Dean, CEO and President of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce. “It’s a great place for family-friendly entertainment with a spectacular view of the ocean.”

Summer is an ideal time to visit, as the Oceanfront Boardwalk Merchants Association hosts “Hot Summer Nights”—free family-friendly entertainment six nights a week.

For the full list and original article, visit Condé Nast Traveler or pick up the July 2017 issue.
