Comments

  • I used to fish at the end of the pier. They also used to have Fishing Derby's (contests) on the pier. The Boardwalk is a fairly nice place to take a stroll.
  • A few movies were filmed here. "Big" was one of the more notable ones.
  • Note it is blurred by Google by their request, what are they trying to hide!?
  • Maybe it's something to do with the deaths? See the wikipedia link.
