Get away to the Wildwoods this spring

PRESS RELEASE

THE WILDWOODS - Summer at the New Jersey shore usually includes thousands of travelers who are eager to take a long-awaited getaway. For those who prefer a more intimate, quiet vacation experience, the Wildwoods invite you to visit the shore destination this spring.

Spring in the Wildwoods offers the chance for vacationers to relax, unwind and enjoy the warmer weather, all while surrounded by less crowded open spaces, natural wonders and local experiences.

With the destination coming back to life for the 2023 season and countless spring activities and events planned for all ages, the Wildwoods are the ultimate getaway destination to escape the fast-paced world and explore your serenity now.

Whether its an early morning stroll or day-long excursion, the Wildwoods' spacious white sandy beaches offer the ideal setting for nature lovers. The Wildwoods have five miles of expansive pristine beaches along its coastline. Rated among the best beaches in New Jersey, they are perfect for those looking to soak up the sun and dive into a good book in the fresh, spring air.

Enjoy breathtaking views while collecting seashells or simply relax while enjoying the calming benefits of "Beach Therapy" on your long-awaited getaway.

One of the most spectacular ways to enjoy the natural beauty and fresh sea air of the Wildwoods is taking advantage of the destination's "bikeability." 

The Wildwoods have coined the term "bikeability" to capture all the amazing biking opportunities across the island. A bike route runs nearly the entire length of the five-mile island, starting at the southern end in Wildwood Crest on the Dunes Pike Path; up onto the Wildwoods Boardwalk for a 2.5-mile ride to take in the sights and ocean views; then onto the North Wildwood Mulberry Bike Path and on to the North Wildwood Sea Wall.

There are also special "bikes only" lanes dedicated to cyclists in North Wildwood along some of its major thoroughfares and along the scenic back bays. 

The Wildwoods also offer the largest collection of mid-20th century architecture in the country, known as Doo Wop Architecture. Take a self-guided tour on foot or by car around the island to see, up close and personal, the bright neon signs, vibrant architecture and colorful motel names which make up the Doo Wop ambiance for which the Wildwoods are famous.

The beauty of the Wildwoods is mean to be shared - whether with a significant other, with the whole family or on social media. The Wildwoods have countless photo opportunities, with splendid sprawling beaches, beautiful artistic murals, iconic structures and natural beauty unmatched on the Jersey Shore. The Wildwoods have unlimited "Instagrammable" opportunities!

The restaurant renaissance that started years ago in nearby Cape May has spread into the Wildwoods, with a growing number of gourmet restaurants located throughout the five-mile island, each of them garnering superb reviews from critics and patrons alike. The Wildwoods' upscale restaurants offer memorable surroundings, remarkable cuisine and attentive service for a perfect evening touched with romance, candlelight and delectable food.

Outdoor dining overlooking the ocean, the bay or the inland waterway is another unique way to enjoy dining in the Wildwoods. With amazing food and signature drinks, cool breezes, a phenomenal view and great live music to top it off, there's nothing like it. The backdrop is the evening sunset on the bay while boats slowly glide past the vibrant streaks of color in the evening sky.

For the adults, most restaurants throughout the island offer a full selection of cocktails and wines. Wine connoisseurs will find wine lists that reflect a wide selection of vineyards and vintages - including some excellent New Jersey-grown choices from our area wineries. A few restaurants even permit guests to bring their own choice of wines to enjoy with dinner. 

If cold brews, craft beer and growlers are your thing, then we've got a brewery for you. Located in the heart of Wildwood are two highly rated establishments, the MudHen Brewing Company and the Anglesea Ale Works, each offer an ideal location for vacationers to sip expertly crafted artisan brews only found on the five-mile island.

If you have a love for the distilling process, or for the products the distilleries produce, then hop over to the Lazy Eye Distillery right on Spicer Avenue in Wildwood. Try a locally produced vodka, gin or rum that you won't find anywhere else other than the Wildwoods. 

Tucked away on the bayside of Wildwood Crest, Sunset Lake is aptly named for its picturesque sunsets. Nature lovers can choose from a variety of water sports including boating, jet skiing, fishing, crabbing, paddle boarding, kayaking and many other water-related activities. Sunset Lake also has beautiful parks to stroll and view the spectacular sunsets.

The beaches, bike paths and vineyards are just some of the scenic and natural places to visit in the Wildwoods this spring. The island is home to bird watching, nature trails, fishing and crabbing opportunities that are sure to amaze. The Wildwoods are also home to natural wetlands and wildlife sanctuaries for those seeking to explore and enjoy the great outdoors on their vacation.
