The Boardwalk shops start to close after Labor day, but most are open at least on weekends into October. After October, many are open only on weekends if the weather is nice. The fewest shops are open in January and February and then they begin reopening in mid March. Most are open for Springiest the first weekend in May and all are open everyday by mid to late May.
At this time of year during the week very few shops are open. On weekends, especially if it
is sunny some of the shops, particularity near the south end will be open.
More shops will likely be open President's Day weekend as this weekend
is a bit busier than others in February. It is impossible to name the
specific shops that will be open as most shops don't have fixed
schedules in the deep off season. However, most weekends in the winter
Marty's Playland, Thrashers, Dough Roller, Kite Loft, Ocean Gallery,
Ripley's, a few Jewelery Stores, and some T-shirt shops seem to be open
along the boardwalk.
