Take An Evening Stroll On These Long Island Boardwalks
The smell of the sea, the sound of waves, views of the setting sun — what better way to spend an autumn evening than by taking a stroll on your favorite Long Island boardwalk? We can't think of a better evening activity, as it helps us to simultaneously relax and get our steps in before the end of the day. Our local boardwalks also offer the chance to see some stunning Long Island seascapes, wetlands, lighthouses, and more.
Evening boardwalk strolls are a favorite pastime of our real estate agents. Here are some of their favorite spots:
- Jones Beach Boardwalk - 2600 Ocean Parkway, Wantagh, NY
Jones Beach is one of the most popular vacation destinations on Long Island, and its amazing boardwalk is one of the reasons why. It runs south and parallel to Ocean Parkway and offers beautiful views of the beach and ocean. Browse numerous shops or stop and grab something to eat at one of the local concession stands or at the Boardwalk Cafe. - Fire Island Boardwalk - Fire Island, NY
This boardwalk was recently restored after it was damaged during Hurricane Sandy, and it gives you the chance to enjoy the natural beauty of Fire Island.

Atlantic Beach has some of the most well-maintained seashores on Long Island, so it's no surprise the beach is home to an amazing boardwalk as well.
