You got all the casinos, beach bars, restaurants, an amusement pier, food stands, a few carnival games, and to top it off, the beach doesnt get so crowded like it does at a lot of other places.
The Atlantic City boardwalk is one of a kind. Wildwood is nice, but a boardwalk like they have is essentially a dime a dozen.

I agree. I think AC and Coney Island took the top spots mostly because of their respective histories rather than their modern conditions, though. I have relatives who live in Breezy Point, NY and two summer ago we went to Coney Island. I had never been there before - the only way I can describe the scene is something like a rap video, if it was filmed in Sarajevo after the Serbian Army rolled through. Not a very pleasant place.
I'd say Pt. Pleasant, Seaside Hts. and Wildwood are somewhat interchangeable, though the crowd in Wildwood and Pt. Pleasant is different than the raucus Seaside Hts. Ocean City is much more white-bread, family oriented because of the lack of bars.
Wildwood has the best boardwalk in the nation IMO- Atlantic City's ranking is fine by me though.
I don't see why Wildwood isn't even mentioned. Maybe they didn't want NJ to hog up the list.

I'd say that's the biggest reason. They call us the diner state, but we may as well be the boardwalk state as well. We invented, perfected, and popularized the concept of the boardwalk along the ocean. The whole list could really have featured Jersey boardwalks and nothing else. They're all a bit different, ranging from the gritty (Asbury Park, A.C.) to the classic (Wildwood, Ocean City) to an outright party zone (Seaside).
