The Atlantic City Boardwalk, during the summer, is usually a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. During the winter months, however, the boardwalk begins to look desolate. The once crowded boardwalk appears empty with popular destinations like arcades being deserted and restaurants closing early. Though less busy, some people still find themselves drawn to the boardwalk during the winter for its casinos and other attractions.
