North Wildwood shares the famous free beaches of the Wildwoods while offering its own distinct character. The wide, sandy beaches here are among the best on the Jersey Shore, and you won't pay a dime for access—making it a budget-friendly family destination.
The town connects seamlessly with Wildwood to the south, sharing access to the famous Wildwood Boardwalk and Morey's Piers amusement parks. However, North Wildwood's beaches tend to be slightly less crowded, especially at the northern end near Hereford Inlet.
Hereford Inlet Lighthouse is a local landmark, and the surrounding gardens make for a pleasant visit. The town has its own collection of Doo-Wop motels, restaurants, and shops, maintaining the retro charm that defines the Wildwoods.
