The beaches are unparalleled! This shore vacation destination boasts one of the most breathtaking beach views on the east side. The beach sand is perfectly soft, fine white, and extremely wide, offering ample space to spread out and relax. It is also free of charge, a rare find along the Garden State shores. The lukewarm water lingers longer than at the higher end of the New Jersey shore, providing an extended summer season that thrives until late September and begins to wind down during October. Throughout the summer, The Wildwoods host numerous events such as championship volleyball matches, monster truck rallies, music performances, movies on the beach, and cultural festivals. The boardwalk, stretching 2 miles or thirty-eight city blocks along the North Wildwood and Wildwood coastline, claims to have more thrilling amusement rides than Disney. North Wildwood features beaches up to a quarter mile long, hotels, restaurants, older classic eateries, a landmark Hereford Inlet Lighthouse with its award-winning gardens, and a wildlife preserve. North Wildwood also hosts various ethnic festivals like Italian and Irish celebrations. Wildwood serves as the hub for family enjoyment and entertainment, renowned for its roller coaster rides, cuisine, ice cream stands, and saltwater taffy. It offers a tram that transports tourists along the entire boardwalk. The main leisure facility is Morey’s Piers, along with several other piers and a water park providing rides and amusements for everyone. The town also hosts the New Jersey firemen's conference in September. Wildwood Crest is slightly more residential compared to its two northern neighbors but still showcases Doo Wop resort architecture. However, the setting of this town is a bit more natural, especially with the town's efforts to protect sand dunes and dune grass along the shoreline. While many Doo Wop Hotels remain, several are being replaced by multi-story condos. The town also hosts the "Thunder on the Beach" Monster Truck Race in September. On the bayside, you'll find a substantial number of private, charter, and party yachts available for day bay and offshore fishing tours, as well as sight-seeing tours. There's also sailing, water sports, and motor boating. A wide variety of accommodations can be found in The Wildwoods, ranging from motel units with efficiency kitchens to modern condos and multiple-room houses, catering to any budget.
