The South’s Best Boardwalks

Ten of our favorite piers and boardwalks to explore this summer

The boardwalks and piers of the South make us nostalgic for shag music and night crabbing, summer days spent fishing along the Gulf and warm nights in a Ferris wheel over the Atlantic. While piers, by definition, stretch out over bodies of water, and boardwalks extend along marsh or sand, the two often go hand in hand. Stroll down memory lane with this collection of the best piers and boardwalks in each Southern state.
