a boardwalk????

Many travelers have referred to a "boardwalK"...your spending time in the Jersey Shore and my summers in Ortley Beach NJ....what do they mean? I am in a scooter and DD is in a wheelchair. I am looking for a place to walk/wheel along stores and quick snacks. We will enjoy the NJ practice off "people watching". What can you tell me. We will be in Aruba on May 1st and I know it is a holiday. Help!!!!

The "boardwalk" is made out of concrete, and not elevated. It runs along Palm Beach from the Holiday Inn in the north to the Divi Phoenix at the south end. Think of it as the dividing line between the beach and resort properties. No games of chance like Seaside though. ;)

Is this a public area? Can we buy food and drinks? Is there any relief from the sun?

How long is this area? Do they have seating along the way? Do not need games of chance since I will spend plenty of time in the casinos.

I appreciate your info. Thank you.

It is a walkway. It is public and anyone can use it. You will pass walking from south to north-- the Divi Phoenix, the new Riu (former Westin) which is closed for renovation, the Riu All Inclusive, the Radisson, the Occidental All Inclusive, the Hyatt Regency, the Playa Linda and Holiday Inn.

There are restaurants at the Divi, the Radisson, the Hyatt, Playa Linda and Holiday Inn. Along the way you will also pass De Palm Pier where you can eat at Bugaloe Bar and Grill, Piet's Pier Bar (drinks only) and the Pelican Pier Restaurant.

I do not recall seeing any benches.

The attached screen capture is from the cam at the Radisson in front of their Gilligans Restaurant. the red outline is the walkway, hard to see since it does not contrast well with the sand, but it IS there. ;)
