Wildwood, NJ
The Wildwoods
The Wildwoods – a resort area in southern New Jersey – is unique in that the space between its boardwalk and oceanfront is 500 yards wide at some points, allowing its sprawling beaches to host events ranging from monster truck rallies to concerts. With Ultimate Frisbee tournaments and adrenaline-pumping amusement park rides, this energetic region isn't for those looking for quiet relaxation. What's more, Wildwoods' 5 miles of beaches are free to access.
A pristine 5-mile-long stretch of coastline, Wildwoods is home to several free beaches which are ideal for a bunch of water activities, including boogie boarding, kayaking, jet skiing, swimming, and surfing.
There are more than 200 festivals here throughout the year like Wildwood’s International Kite Festival and Monster Truck Races. In case you are into wild rides, go to the Wildwood boardwalk and check out the amazing Morey’s Piers and Beachfront Waterparks such as Ocean Oasis Waterpark and Splash Zone Waterpark.
You will also find many entertainment venues, shops, bars, and restaurants along the boardwalk. There are plenty of accommodation options to choose from. For instance, you can stay in a 1960s mod motel or rent an upscale condo for a week. Wildwoods tagline that says “As wild as you want to be” definitely explains this place well.
