Boardwalk in Wildwood NJ

Wildwood, New Jersey

The 2 mile (3 kilometer) long Wildwood boardwalk has a total of five amusement piers plus a myriad of other carnival games, souvenir shops, food stands, waterparks, and world-class roller coasters.

The Boardwalk started out as a mere 150 feet . It has actually been moved closer to the ocean twice. Today, the boardwalk stretches from 16th Ave in North Wildwood to Cresse Ave in Wildwood Crest.

The Wildwood Boardwalk is said to have more rides than Disneyland. Kiddie rides include a convoy of airplanes, trucks, dune buggies, boats, and trains. Flying elephants, teacups, bouncing giraffes, mini-erris wheels, and a traditional carousel round out the mix.

Children are said to line up for their chance to sit in the driver's seat of the bumper car ride.

What is a Boardwalk

A boardwalk is a place, most typically in beachfront communities, where a wooden path for pedestrians and sometimes vehicles runs along a beach or overlooking and close to a beach.

Although boardwalks can be found around the world, they are especially common in the East Coast of USA.

The first boardwalk was designed in New Jersey and opened June 26, 1870, in Atlantic City.
