We investigate the geometric structure of the unit ball of the Marcinkiewicz sequence space
, giving characterizations of its real and complex extreme points and of the exposed points in terms of the symbol
. Using our knowledge of the geometry of
we then give necessary and sufficient conditions for a subset of
to be a boundary for
, the algebra of functions which are uniformly continuous on
and holomorphic on the interior of
. We show that it is possible for the set of peak points of
to be a boundary for
yet for
not to have a
ilov boundary in the sense of Globevnik.
