A National Geographic listing of the country’s top ten boardwalks has designated Coney Island’s own Riegelmann Boardwalk as our nation’s number two.

The list crowned Atlantic City, whose own 1870 wooden walkway predates Coney’s by over 50 years, as the reigning Baron of Boardwalks.

Other beaches [on the list](http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/top-10/us-boardwalks/?ref=bklyner.com#page=1) include Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Ocean City, Maryland; and Venice Beach, California – which came in at numbers 3, 4, and 5 respectively.

There was no word on whether an asterisk\* would be added once the [Coney Island Plastic/Concretewalk](/concrete-and-plastic-boardwalk-approved-by-commission/) is complete.
