A boardwalk is an area that has shops, restaurants, arcades, and other entertainment venues. It's like a mini-town where people can go to have fun and spend time with their family and friends. The boardwalk is usually located near the beach, so people can go for a walk on the sand and then enjoy a variety of activities along the boardwalk. People may choose to go on fairground rides, play games and win prizes at the arcade, buy snacks and souvenirs from shops, and eat a meal at one of the restaurants. The boardwalk can be a great place to spend an afternoon or evening having fun.
