The Atlantic wind cuts across the boardwalk as your group consults a glowing phone screen and heads toward a weathered memorial plaque — the scavenger hunt begins. Along the way the ocean’s voice competes with traffic on A1A, and the Halifax River keeps one eye on the city’s low-slung skyline. This is an urban walk that feels outdoors: salt spray daring you to look up from the app, boardwalk planks pushing your pace, and murals nudging you off the main drag.
