Wildwood New Jersey is an excellent beach locale on
the Jersey shore in southern
New Jersey.  Officially, Wildwood is a borough of Cape
May County, New Jersey, which is located on the southern
tip of the Garden State.  Wildwood is, like nearby Wildwood
Crest, one of five segments of The Wildwoods, a popular
getaway location.  No matter who you are, from young singles
to retirees, Wildwood has some of the best the Jersey
shore has to offer. 

Unable to decide for myself, I recently asked a New
Jersey local what is known as the best place to visit
in New Jersey.  Without hesitation, the young man said,
“Wildwood!”  Offering one of the only free New Jersey beaches left, the excellent Wildwood boardwalk, an unmatched nightclub
scene, and countless other attractions for visitors of
all ages, Wildwood might just be your best bet for a New
Jersey getaway. 

First things first: we all love something that’s
free.  The free beach here is among the best New Jersey
has to offer, and a visit to Wildwood New Jersey should
include plenty of time soaking up that summer sun.  Choose
a cute nearby bed and
breakfast, hotel, or one of the New Jersey vacation
rentals found here, but just make sure it is close
to the beach, because the clean white sand is where you’ll
want to spend your sunny days in Wildwood New Jersey. 

Take a trip to the Wildwood Boardwalk if you get tired
of the beach scene, because it is a known fact that there
are more rides in Wildwood New Jersey than there are at Disneyland. 
The Wildwood boardwalk is home to many of these for young
kids and thrill-seekers alike, including the wildly popular Morey"s Piers Amusement Park,
along with the Raging Waters water park.  Another nice
water park along the Wildwood boardwalk is Splash Zone. 
The high quality of the attractions found here set this
boardwalk apart, according to many, from the other boardwalks
in New Jersey.  They are all certainly worth a visit, but
the rides here are surely a step up from many others. 

Once the beautiful sun goes down, the nightlife in Wildwood New Jersey is truly wild!  A plethora of nightclubs, bars, live music venues, and even Irish pubs set this section of the Wildwoods apart as the place for singles and couples alike to enjoy a great night on the town.  Live music has quite a tradition as a part of the nightlife in Wildwood New Jersey, since Wildwood New Jersey was the place Bill Haley and His Comets first performed the hit song “Rock Around the Clock,” thought of as the first hit song in rock and roll history.  Due to this distinction, many locals hail Wildwood New Jersey as the birthplace of rock and roll music.  Even if Bill Haley is gone, the nightlife in Wildwood New Jersey is still rockin’!  Irish Pubs like The Shamrock will provide a loud night you won’t forget.  Visit the Beach House for dancing, and just follow the crowds around to all of the hotspots if dancing is your idea of a great time.  Due to the party atmosphere of Wildwood, it is in stark contrast to more family-oriented spots like Ocean City.  But if you want to get wild when the sun goes down, Wildwood New Jersey is the place to be this summer.
