About Wildwood

Learn more about the host city, Wildwood.

Wildwood is on the Southern Shore of New Jersey. It is primarily a resort town whose population swells in the summer months with vacationers coming mainly from New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, and Quebec. There are also a significant number of seasonal workers from Pennsylvania, Ireland and Eastern Europe. Together with the small bordering towns of North Wildwood and Wildwood Crest, Wildwood is often called "the Wildwoods." The season runs from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. July is the peak month with accommodations often booking up weeks in advance. June and early September offer similar beach weather with fewer crowds and lower nightly rates. The beaches are free and open year-round though most boardwalk rides and shops operate only during the summer season.
