The North Wildwood Seawall is one of the prettiest places to walk on the entire Wildwood island. It’s a paved seawall and an easy walk, handicap accessible too! There are places along the seawall where you can sit down and enjoy the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean, the beaches, and the Hereford Inlet.
While walking on the seawall you can see some of the shore birds that live in the area. We’ve seen herons, egrets, various species of seagulls, turtles, etc. During the mid Spring season we’ve seen seals come up onto the beach. If you stop to sit in one of the gazebos you can often times catch a glimpse of dolphins swimming by…especially during high tides.
Dogs, bicycles, skate boards, roller blades, etc. are not permitted on the seawall during the in-season times of the year. The Seawall is meant for runners, joggers, and walkers…and those who want to gain access to some of the beaches in North Wildwood and Anglesea.
The Hereford Inlet Lighthouse sits right along the wall and right behind the lighthouse you’ll find wood benches that you can sit on. That’s where you’ll get some of the prettiest views of the ocean. The lighthouse is FREE to visit their outdoor gardens but do charge an admission fee if you want to go inside the lighthouse.
When traveling I like to check out things that aren’t in the big tourist areas. I like to explore and learn the history on the area. While down in North Wildwood in New Jersey we stumbled upon Ottens Canal in the borough of Anglesea. According …

Traveling with a baby is a fun and exciting experience.
However, it can also be quite stressful at times.
You may have to deal with things you never knew existed, like airplane delays, long car rides, and packing for days at a time. It’s not always easy to plan when traveling with your infant; however, some simple tips can help make this process easier.
Here Are FOUR Tips That Will Help You Enjoy Your Trip More:
1. Plan Ahead
In a perfect world, we would all have unlimited time and resources to plan our trip in detail before leaving home. But life doesn’t work like that. Sometimes you don’t have the luxury of time or are on a tight budget and can only afford to travel for a short period. In these cases, it is crucial to plan your trip to ensure you have everything covered during your travels.
For example, if you are planning to take a long flight with your baby, make sure you book an airport transfer service as early as possible to avoid any delays that may arise due to bad weather conditions at the airport. If possible, find out how much it will cost to get your baby checked into the hotel room before booking it!
2. Pack the Right Gear & Baby Stroller
Packing is never easy, especially when you have a baby on board. However, there are certain things that you can do to make it easier and more convenient. Here are some tips to help you out:
The first thing you need to do is pack your baby’s essentials in a separate bag. This will include his or her clothes, diapers, wipes, and any additional items like toys, blankets, and pacifiers. You may also want to pack some diapers if your baby is potty-training.
You can also opt for packing some extra clothing pieces that match his or her favorite colors so they don’t get bored while waiting for their turn at the washroom now and then.
If you currently don’t own any travel equipment for your baby, make sure the products are of high quality and are loved by many such as those from Nuna. Making sure your baby is comfortable the whole trip is vital!
3. Don’t Forget The Baby Stroller
The stroller is a must when traveling with a baby. It’s not just for convenience; it’s also an essential piece of equipment you’ll need to keep your baby safe and secure when you’re on the road.
In addition to ensuring your baby is well-rested, healthy, and comfortable, you can also ensure they can enjoy their time in the car by keeping them entertained with toys or other activities. You can even use a car seat as a stroller if you don’t have one available.
You should know that there are different types of urban strollers available in the market today. You can choose different types such as jogging strollers, travel systems, umbrella strollers, and more. To help you decide which one is right for your baby, go through the list of features and specifications of each type of stroller so that you can compare them before making your final decision. Once this has been done, it will be easier for you to know which would be best suited for your and your child’s needs.
4. Make Sure Your Baby is Having Fun
Last but not least, make sure your baby is having fun by doing things that fascinate them. For example, if they love playing with toys, then find a place where there are lots of toys so they can play together.
If they love watching people, take them to a mall or other public area where they can observe people walking freely. You can even make a list of baby-friendly tourist spots you would like to visit during the trip.
Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, traveling with a baby is all about adjusting to a new schedule dictated by someone much smaller. The more prepared you are ahead of time, the easier it will be to adjust on the fly. But with some careful planning and these tips to guide you, you’ll have an easy time enjoying your baby’s first trip.
