Wildwood Crest

Wildwood Crest, NJ located at the southern end of the Wildwoods barrier island, is known for its expansive white-sand beaches and charming bay views at Sunset Lake. Unlike its neighboring Wildwood, it lacks a boardwalk, offering a quieter, more relaxed beachfront experience with luxurious hotels and motels. Often called the "Dolphin Capital," visitors can regularly spot playful dolphins close to shore. The Crest is also a hub for boating, offering various charter and fishing boat services. Popular activities include bike rides along the beach, free concerts at the municipal gazebo, and annual events like the Christmas in July boat parade and Seafarer’s Weekend. With its serene atmosphere, ample dining options, and close proximity to Wildwood’s nightlife, Wildwood Crest offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
