Question Which sentence is correct?

Hoping I can find an answer the following question. Which is correct? The first or the second sentence below?

Visitors to the Outer Banks enjoy world-class sportfishing, eight championship golf courses, boating, windsurfing, hang gliding, and we're one of the top destinations in the world for shipwreck diving.

Default Re: Which sentence is correct?

Without a doubt, the second one. You list the things a visitor would enjoy in sequence.

If you want to keep the "and we're one of the top..." part from the first sentence, then you need to put an "and" between "windsurfing" and "hang gliding."
