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!
This does look like a nice place to visit. I have enjoyed looking at all your photos from there. I did not know that you were going to move there in a few years.
This looks like such a nice place to visit. That is so neat that you are able to go several times a year. Thank you for sharing these pictures we are just a few hours from the ocean and I so need to plan a trip this summer.
It looks very beautiful there. I used to love watching the dolphins playing when I lived in Florida. Looks like a great place to retire!
