7. Mustang Island State Park, Texas
Here in this barrier island state park, you’ll find over five miles of coastline you can hike. It’s not an official trail but who cares? You can still walk along the stunning sandy spit and see the great, grass-topped dunes while watching for over 400 species of birds living there. You might even spot turtles and dolphins in the channel too.
8. Wildwoods Boardwalk, New Jersey
Stroll lazily along this 2.5-mile classic boardwalk and be a part of this exceptional example of Americana. In the late 1800s, it was only 150 yards in length and repositioned to be closer to the ocean as the Jersey shoreline shifted. Hit the beach then pleasantly promenade past a trio of piers complete with assorted arcades, colorful shops, interesting eateries, colorful shops, and a number of nigh iconic amusement park rides.
