The Wildwoods free beaches, often voted as among the best in the country, stretch on for five expansive miles — making them the largest and widest at the Jersey Shore. And overlooking it all…the world-famous Wildwoods Boardwalk with 38 blocks packed end to end with shops, waterparks, eateries, entertainment and amusement piers.
BUT, did you know the Wildwoods are more than just beach and boardwalk? See for yourself all we have to offer {it’s much more than you might think!}
