Sobre el lugar

North Wildwood anchors the northern shore of the island with historic fishing roots, inlet taverns, and wide sandy beaches.

Originally incorporated under the name Anglesea, the community grew around commercial fishing before adopting its present title from local flora. Voters later rejected an initiative to revive the founding name to protect municipal commerce. The neighborhood around Hereford Inlet Lighthouse preserves that maritime heritage, while nearby streets host taverns and the East Coast Irish Fall Festival.

Living here year-round exposes stark seasonal swings that weekend visitors miss. Summer brings dense boardwalk crowds, tram cars, and reduced sales tax through a joint urban enterprise zone covering local merchants. Midwinter reverses this completely as nor'easters bring biting coastal winds and freezing temperatures. Residents rely on bicycles, local cabs, and quiet residential lanes once seasonal traffic clears.
