Best Restaurants in Wildwood, NJ

Wildwood is the center of the Wildwoods, the Cape May County resort it shares with North Wildwood, Wildwood Crest and West Wildwood. Eating here often starts on the boardwalk, which runs 38 blocks from Cresse Avenue to North Wildwood, with yellow tram cars rolling past the food stands, shops and amusement piers since 1949. A couple of blocks inland, the Pacific Avenue downtown district has been the focus of state-backed improvement work aimed at making it more walkable and bikeable.

Wildwood is also known for its 1950s and '60s Doo Wop motels, recognized by the state as the Wildwoods Shore Resort Historic District, and for its free beaches, with no beach tags required. Most drivers arrive on Route 47 (Rio Grande Avenue) over the George Reading Wildwood Bridge from the Garden State Parkway.
