A Relaxing Walk on the North Wildwood Seawall

North Wildwood in New Jersey is my favorite place to visit! We go down to the Jersey Shore several times a year. Matter of fact, we’re hoping to be living down there on a full-time basis within the next few years. Yup, hubby is going to retire in 3-4 years. Finally!

We enjoy walking and always head to the North Wildwood Seawall when we’re in town. It’s a cement seawall walking trail that runs along the Atlantic Ocean and Hereford Inlet. You get some of the prettiest ocean views & beach views while walking on the seawall.

Along the way you’ll find a couple of covered pavilions if you want to sit down in the shade. We will often sit and spot dolphins playing out in the water. Last fall we spotted a few seals up on the beach too. Shore birds are plenty in this area, so if you’re a bird watcher, you’ll enjoy this part of the island too.

When we choose to sit on the beach or walk the beach…this is where we go. The beach is nice & clean in this area and there’s plenty of room to stretch out. It’s also the BEST place on the island to go shelling! This is often the area where I find my larger whelk shells, sand dollars and starfish. Best time to go shelling? Low tide!

The seawall is open year-round and when we’re on the island we try to walk it at least once a day. I like going over early in the morning to watch the sun rise up over the Atlantic Ocean. No better way to start your day at the beach than watching a gorgeous sunrise!

Over the next few weeks I’ll share some more photos of things we saw and experience while on our latest trip to North Wildwood. Fun, fun, fun!
