The Wildwoods
The Wildwoods is made up of three distinct communities: North Wildwood, Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest. The island is famous for its free, wide, white sandy beaches and world-class boardwalk. In fact, Wildwood’s beaches are among the widest on the Jersey Cape, offering plenty of space to relax, play, and enjoy the ocean views.
Beyond the iconic, mile-long boardwalk, the Wildwoods are filled with shops, restaurants, and family-friendly activities. The island is home to three amusement piers and three water parks, featuring attractions for all ages — from rides for young children to thrilling roller coasters. Visitors can also enjoy numerous public parks, playgrounds, and outdoor concert venues throughout the island.
