Wildwood Description Located in Cape May County, on the Southern tip of New Jersey, Wildwood is both an eclectic town and a hot spot along the Jersey Shore. With miles of beautiful sandy beaches and a famous 1.8 mile boardwalk, this eastern resort city is very popular with tourists from New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the New York City area. Wildwood blooms during summer months when its population can reach up to 250,000. An attention to family-oriented fun and a wealthy mix of activities for people of all ages has made Wildwood stand out among a sea of shore towns. Enjoying four-season weather, with perfect summers and pristine early springs, Wildwood hosts many festivals and special weekends during those hot sunny days. The famous Jersey Shore boardwalk comes alive with an assortment of neon lights, delicious treats, souvenir shops and carnival-style games and amusements. Fast Facts Wildwood beaches are growing at a rate of 100 feet per year, making this Jersey Shore beach one of the only places on the East Coast where the shoreline is not diminishing. Chubby Checker initiated "the twist" dance craze at the rocking Rainbow Club in Wildwood in the summer of 1960. Wildwood is home to the Lime Rickey, a tart and popular drink mix with lime as the key ingredient. Rock Around the Clock, often thought to be the first rock and roll record, was first performed in Wildwood, NJ. Contact Us | Privacy Statement Copyrighted by Graphic Maps All rights reserved!
