Wildwood New Jersey
The Boardwalk by Day
July 2012
This Iconic Wildwoods sign marks an entrance to the Boardwalk and
is located at the end of Rio Grande avenue, the main road entrance onto the Wildwoods barrier island.
Wildwood, North Wildwood, and Wildwood Crest are refered to as the "Wildwoods".
As you can see, this is a popular spot to have your photo taken.
It's long, it's loud, it's bright and dazzling, it's flash and a tiny bit trashy.
It's the spectacular Wildwood boardwalk.
The Wildwood boardwalk is two miles long and is populated with shops and attractions of every type including amusement piers.
Bikes are permitted on the Boardwalk until 11AM on weekday mornings;
10:30AM on weekend mornings.
Looking from the Boardwalk towards the Adventure Pier.
Souvenir shops aplenty.
So, If I buy a cage, I get a hermit crab for free?
Does that mean that if I buy a hanger, I get the shorts for free?
The Wildwood Boardwalk has a Chapel nestled amongst the shops.
Biking along the Wildwood Boardwalk.
Mmmm fudge.
Yummy Treats is certainly a bright looking place.
Looking at the Mariner's Landing Pier.
What does that sign say?
The YOGO Factory yogurt shop with the
Boardwalk Mall in the background.
The Splash Zone water park entrance is right on the Boardwalk.
Polish Water Ice is like Italian gillatto except it's Polish.

Looking back at the Mariner's Landing Pier.
A stationary tram car on the Wildwood Boardwalk.
To alert pedestrians of its approach when running, the tram car is equipped with a loud voice warning of
"Watch the Tram Car Please".
The Surfside pier.
Many people claim that Sam's Pizza is the best in Wildwood.
We've tried it, and it is very good.
The twisted metal of The Great Nor' Easter rollercoaster on the Surfside Pier.
The entire Surfside Pier.
North Wildwood has some dune buildup
and the beach isn't as wide as in Wildwood
and Wildwood Crest.
That's it. We've walked all 2 miles of the Wildwood Boardwalk.
Through this arch walk the happiest people in the world.
Starting to head back.
But first, some refreshments.
Have a seat and enjoy the view of the Nor' Ester on the Surfside Pier.
Only a quarter.
Sweedish or deep tissue?
What's a vacation without some treats?
A bright assortment of fudge on display.
Candies of all sorts.
Venturing onto the Surfside Pier and encountering these bright, happy kangaroos.
This is the Kang-A-Bounce ride on the Surfside Pier.
A big fish at Joe's Fish Company.
Deep fried oreos and a water is combo meal?
Macks pizza is another Wildwood staple.
This is Mack's north location on the Boardwalk.
Here's Mack's south location on the boards.
Hold on a moment, something smells really good.
A slice of Mack's Pizza.
We found Mack's to be the best of the pizzas we tasted in Wildwood.
It tasted very similar to an NEPA pizza.
I'll get back to the report later, after I finish this slice.
Please carry on.
