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, National Marble Tournaments,
Life Guard Races, Wrestling Matches and Beauty Pageants
are but a few of the events scheduled throughout the summer
season.
Accommodations
of every kind are available throughout this island resort.
From motel units with efficiency kitchens, to modern condominiums
and roomy apartments, a stay in Wildwood is an affordable
choice for every pocketbook.
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. |
