To those who have never visited the Wildwoods during the winter months, it's difficult to describe the tranquil beauty of the resort during it's "slumber."
All of the familiar landmarks are there, they simply exist in a different state.
Our friend Jim Stephens was kind enough to share these photos, which he took tonight during a walk into Wildwood and then back to the Crest.
Just imagine, these same scenes will be filled with bustle and excitement in "just" about five months' time...

The Boardwalk sleeps

All's quiet at the end of the Crest Fishing Pier
wow....would love to do that sometime....it does look a bit eerie but still so familiar and welcoming even tho everything is dark....it's waiting for us, quietly, to come back. can't wait until summer!!!
ReplyDeleteWas just down there yesterday with my husband and mother-in-law meeting with a realtor. Made sure to walk up to the beach and take a look at the ocean. It was so calm and serene. Really would love to live at the beach. Thanks for sharing the photo walk!
