Wildwood-Crest
is a small seashore resort community located on the southern coast of New Jersey. It is one of the communities known collectively as "The Wildwoods," which also consists of the City of Wildwood, North Wildwood, West Wildwood and part of the Lower Township. Wildwood Crest is about 30 miles south of Atlantic City and ten miles north of Victorian Cape May. The wide, sandy beaches of The Wildwoods are among the most beautiful in the country. There are many attractions and activities to enjoy, such as swimming, shelling and lounging in the sun, bay or ocean fishing, boating, sailing, windsurfing, water skiing and miniature golf. This community tends to be quieter than the City of Wildwood, so it's the perfect place for a stroll along the scenic shore. A trolley takes you from Wildwood Crest to the amusement area on the Wildwoods' Boardwalk, which contains five gigantic piers filled with rides, arcades, restaurants, shops and other entertainment. At night enjoy world-class dining and entertainment, including weekly fireworks every Sunday at 11:00 p.m. Some of the other nearby attractions include Victorian Cape May City and the Cape May Lighthouse, Historic Cold Spring Village and the Hereford Inlet Lighthouse and Gardens.

Wildwood Crest Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
The southeastern tip of New Jersey , near Cape May, has a humid subtropical climate with maritime influences. Continental and oceanic influences battle for dominance in the weather patterns on a daily to weekly bases. The coastal zone generally has warmer temperatures than the interior regions in winter. Sea breezes play a major role in the climate, and offer a cooling effect on hot summer days. Coastal storms, often characterized as nor'easters, are most frequent between October and April. These storms bring strong winds and heavy rains. Rarely does a winter go by without at least one significant coastal storm. Tropical storms and hurricanes are also a special concern along the coast, although plenty of warning is given for these types of storms.
