sea world san diego discount tickets The Atlantic City Boardwalk pictured above, the part we all stroll, is intact. sea world san diego discount tickets (See Twitter @AmyBuckman last few days). The part that was destroyed is the uptown inlet section, on the north end of the island, NOT the area in these photos.

You're right in that it's difficult to tell exactly which part is gone. Are you down there? From my personal understanding we're looking at past Lucy the Elephant, away from the casinos, is that right?
The portion of the Boardwalk that was washed away is far from the one you remember if you were ever on it! It's way up at the north end on the inlet, sea world san diego discount tickets quite a distance from the iconic version you're thinking of. This was already severely damaged from a prior storm, and was likely to be removed anyway. So, don't lose hope; the Boardwalk's still intact, due in large part to what was a hugely unpopular dune project that was objected to because "we can't see the ocean real good". Well, those folk almost got a first-hand view of the ocean up close and personal!
what a mess, what a pity...:-( can't even imagine "la promenade des Anglais" in Nice, Côte d'Azur"-French riviera, swept up by any storm, as there are not hurricanes in the Mediterranean sea... Good luck and stay optimistic, you'll make it like usually!
