boardwalk
Coastal wooden path
A boardwalk is a walkway made of wooden planks, typically found along beaches or through marshy areas where the ground is unstable or prone to flooding.
The term especially evokes the famous promenades at seaside resorts—Atlantic City's boardwalk being the most iconic—lined with shops, amusements, and carnival attractions: We strolled the boardwalk eating saltwater taffy.
The boardwalk in Monopoly references Atlantic City's.
