Hosted on Tuesdays, the 40-minute walking tours will take participants through the past. Guides will point out where the largest dance floor south of Washington was, where the birth of shag took place and the many businesses that have come and gone along the boardwalk scene.
Tours cost $5 and meet every Tuesday through Aug. 7 at the Pleasure Island Chamber of Commerce kiosk near the Hampton Inn at 10 a.m.
Federal Point Historic Preservation Society asks participants to park in the municipal lot between Harper and Carl Winner Avenues.
For more information on the historic walking tours, contact Rebecca Taylor with the Federal Point Historical Preservation Society at 910-458-0502.
