Its free everyday you just have to pay for parking And rides if you like rides but other than that the board walk is free to enter and the beach is free as well.
Yes the boardwalk itself is free... The rides you buy a card now however much you want to put on the card and they tell you what each ride cost or you can get a all day pass. Parking in the lot is $20.... If your lucky you can find some on the street for free and walk up.
