Boardwalks are usually fine for strollers.

Yes, most are wide enough to pass others comfortably. Standard boardwalks are typically 8 to 12 feet wide, which lets two strollers go past each other without drama.

The real problem is not the width—it’s the bottlenecks. Entry points, stairs, benches that stick out, and carts selling corn dogs all pinch the flow. You’ll be fine 90% of the time, but expect a few tight spots.

If you’re going to a popular beach on a Saturday, avoid the main entrances. Use a side access point and you’ll have a much easier time.

Bring a lightweight stroller if you can. The less you have to turn, the better.
