THE WILDWOODS - Escape the City and Enjoy the Great Outdoors in the Wildwoods, NJ The Wildwoods, NJ – August 5, 2024 – As summer heats up, city-goers are looking to escape the crowds and seek rejuvenation in the serene beaches and outdoor life of the beaches and ocean. 

As one of the most-visited vacation destinations at the Jersey Shore, the Wildwoods offer the perfect backdrop for both adventurous and relaxing getaways of outdoor-oriented travelers. Many travelers seek vacation experiences that feature outdoor spaces with a variety of activities for individuals of all ages and interests. The Wildwoods offer five miles of outdoor fun and excitement, making it the perfect shore destination for any traveler looking to escape city life and enjoy the great outdoors. 

From sunbathing on spacious FREE beaches; to enjoying numerous water sports and activities; to leisurely bike riding on the Boardwalk and throughout the island, the Wildwoods have endless opportunities for adventurers to get outdoors and enjoy the fresh ocean air. 

In search of some beach and quiet? Soak up the sun and enjoy the calming effects of "Beach Therapy" on the Wildwoods’ FREE and spacious beaches. The Wildwoods’ beaches are the ideal location to clear the mind, escape the chaos and crowds, and recharge in the fresh salt air, away from the hustle and bustle of large cities. Relaxation is an essential on the Wildwoods beaches; but if you’re looking for something a little more adventurous, take part in beach and watersport activities like boating, jet skiing, kayaking, surfing, boogie boarding, parasailing, and more. 

Fishing and crabbing is another favored seashore pastime, and is a great way to have some outdoor fun and enjoy the island environment. The fishing pier on the Intracoastal Waterway – known locally as “the back bay” – at Sweetbriar Road in Wildwood Crest is a popular fishing spot for island natives and visitors alike. 

There are plenty of beaches along Hereford Inlet in North Wildwood where fishing enthusiasts gather to surf fish. Crabbing is another beloved shore activity that is common in the tidal marsh areas along the west side of the island. Those looking to catch their fresh evening crab feast are frequently spotted along the wetlands area entering the island; at street ends; or on docks along the back bay. 

The Wildwoods are also home to a smooth and inviting bicycling path that allows visitors looking to get some exercise while biking, skating, jogging, or walking; all while taking in the Wildwoods’ beautiful scenery. The bike route spans a majority of the island’s perimeter, taking visitors around the entire island – through the island’s Doo-Wop district, on the famous Boardwalk, on bike paths alongside the beautiful beaches, and past the historic 135-year-old Hereford Inlet Lighthouse. 

The Wildwoods have coined the phrase "bikeability" to capture all of the amazing biking opportunities across the island. Don’t worry if you didn’t pack your bike for the trip – the Wildwoods have many bike-rental shops spread throughout the island that rent out all kinds of bikes for fair prices. 

If getting back to nature is what you’re looking for, the Wildwoods have just what you need. Wildlife is abundant on the island, and nature-lovers can witness unique shore birds, local varieties of fish ,as well as marine life such as whales, dolphins, and more. Witness shore birds like the black skimmer, piping plover, swallow, osprey, tern, gull, and peregrine falcon in their natural habitats, and see the intricate local marine ecosystem located in the Wildwoods bays and marshes. 

Just a short drive outside of the Wildwoods, there are even more opportunities to explore and reconnect with nature. Nearby Cape May Point is favorite spot to witness more local wildlife and experience the serenity of nature walks. Also, the Cape May Wildlife Refuge located at the southernmost end of the Wildwoods and the Cape May County Park and Zoo is just a short drive outside of the Wildwoods, for anyone wanting to see some not-so-local wildlife.
