Famous for its
free, wide, white, sandy
beaches and world class
boardwalk...
"Wildwood by the Sea" has
been the number one fun-filled family vacation
destination for many generations.
Wildwood
beaches are the widest on the Jersey Cape.
Each
day all summer long, tens of thousands of
vacationers come to the Wildwood beaches to
frolic in the sparkling clean water and pure
white sand.
The boardwalk, built at the
turn of the century, stretches along the beach
for more than a mile and a half. A convention
center, four incredible amusement piers, two
movie theaters, hundreds of souvenir and novelty
shops and a variety of restaurants, ethnic food
stands and salt water taffy shops line this
wooden walkway.
Early morning boardwalk
visitors can see the sun reflect like diamonds
as it rises out of the sparkling blue sea. An
early morning bike ride along the boards is a
favorite way for many to start the day.
At
night, the lights brighten the skyline and the
boardwalk takes on a new look. The combination
of the flashing neon, mixed with lively music,
the spin of the game wheels and the enticing
aromas coming from the open air eateries create
a carnival-like atmosphere and an aura of
excitement that is not soon forgotten.
Beach Concerts, Hobie Cat
Races, Kite Festivals, The National Marble
Tournaments, Life Guard Races, Wrestling Matches
and Beauty Pageants are but a few of the events
scheduled throughout the summer season.
Affordable accommodations of
every kind are available throughout this island
resort. While traveling throughout the area,
keep an eye out for the '50s DooWop
architectural style that made the Wildwoods
famous.
The back-bay area hosts
hundreds of private, charter and party boats for
daily bay and deep sea fishing excursions. Sight
seeing and whale watching trips as well as
sailing, jet skiing and motor boating are
available from most Wildwood docks.
As with all Jersey Cape
resorts, Wildwood is especially known for its
seafood restaurants and some of the finest
eating establishments on the east coast.
