Our Annual Family Trip to Wildwood NJ

Every year we go down to Wildwood New Jersey during the month of September and during this particular trip we decided to take the family down with us. We took my mother, my daughter, her fiance, my grand daughter and then hubby and myself were all along for the adventure.

We love the north Wildwood area and it's our favorite area on the Wildwood island. If you are ever visiting the area, I highly recommend that you talk a walk up to the Hereford Inlet Lighthouse and walk behind it and up onto the sea wall.

Once on the sea wall you will get some spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Inlet and the surrounding areas. In my opinion, this is the prettiest part of the entire Wildwood island and a MUST SEE when visiting. You will find a beautiful white sandy beach, lots of sand dunes and sea grass and if you are really lucky...you will see a few dolphins swimming by. This is where we usually see them swimming when we visit.

There are a lot of things to see and do while visiting Wildwood New Jersey like a day trip to the Cape May County Zoo, a hike at the Nature Conservancy down in Cape May, tour the Hereford Inlet Lighthouse & the Cape May Lighthouse, check out the World War II Lookout Tower & Bunker on the Beach in Cape May and of course make sure you have some amusement ride fun on Morey's Pier.

We are hoping to head back down there in late October for one last visit before the weather here in PA gets really cold and the winter weather moves in. But if not...we will be back down again come May 2014. Yay!

Beautiful Views of the Atlantic Ocean in Wildwood NJ

We were on vacation all of last week and had a wonderful time down at the Jersey Shore....more specifically, in Wildwood New Jersey. We go down to North Wildwood several times every year and just LOVE that area! While the rest of the Wildwood island is pretty, our favorite spots are in North Wildwood.

We love to go onto the beach right behind the Hereford Inlet Lighthouse and if you ask me, that is where you get the best views of the Atlantic Ocean. If you love watching sunrises, this is also the best place to catch those while visiting the Wildwood area.

The beach here is pure white...wide and beautiful! You will find a lot of sand dunes, sea grass and if you are a beach comber, you can pick up some seashells too! One of the things I love about this particular area is that you can see the Inlet, a sand dune and then the Atlantic Ocean behind it, as my photo above shows!

You can click on the photo to enlarge it to see the pretty details. If you look really close, you can see some sea gulls on the edge of the water too! We sat on the beach for awhile that day and then got up onto the sea wall and sat on a wooden bench. The ocean & beach views behind the Hereford Inlet Lighthouse are some of the best on the entire Wildwood island.

Well there you have it! My "almost" Wordless Wednesday post for this week. Over the next couple of weeks, I will be sharing some additional photos from our vacation. Enjoy!
