Wildwood Crest is dry, but, as the entire town is only 2 miles long, bars and liquor stores are within just a few minutes drive. The Crest is the closest part of town to neighboring Victorian Cape May, and many of its activities, such as free concerts, are located at Centennial Park which is just next to the Armada By-the-Sea and beautiful Sunset Lake. Wildwood is at the center of the island, where the famous Wildwood Boardwalk , amusement-filled piers and waterparks, and many bars and restaurants are located.
Wildwood proper is located between Cresse Avenue and 26th Avenue. Wildwood is home to the Wildwood Convention Center, the Doo Wop Museum , and several events and festivals that take place in Fox Park throughout the spring, summer and fall. But if you want the easiest access to the boardwalk and will enjoy being in the energy of the center of town, then the heart of Wildwood may be just the place for you to stay on your Wildwood vacation.
North Wildwood, obviously, is the northern-most section of the Wildwoods and is located between 26th Avenue and the tip of the island. This section of town is made up mostly of condominiums and motels. It is quieter than the heart of Wildwood, but there are plenty of bars and restaurants to keep vacationers up late, especially at the very tip of the island in a section of town called Anglesea.
Be sure to visit the Hereford Lighthouse and walk the Anglesea Seawall, as well as participate in famous events such as the Irish Festival in this section of town. Ed Wheaton, whose great-grandfather was once mayor of Anglesea, has started a petition drive with his father, James, to reclaim the Anglesea name. So far, they have collected signatures, and the city's council is considering placing the question as a nonbinding referendum on the November ballot.
The Wheatons and local officials say consideration of the idea isn't so much a plan to cut ties with Wildwood, but more to honor the town's historical roots. North Wildwood Mayor Patrick Rosenello said that since the name Anglesea has remained around town in the years since the municipality was incorporated as North Wildwood, the name change merits discussion.
It's just still so much a part of the community. Rosenello said the idea isn't so much to distance North Wildwood from the Wildwoods as it is to create a heightened identity for the town. But Troiano, Wildwood's mayor, isn't convinced the push for a name change involves historical context only for North Wildwood and is just a simple case of marketing for Wildwood Crest.
