Wildwood Crest
At the Center of it All
Beautiful....uncrowded...the widest beach in New Jersey...the best sports beach in the northern United States. These are just a few of the accolades visitors from around the world have showered upon the gently sloping sandy beach that rings the shoreline of the Wildwoods.

“Five Mile Beach” Through the Years
Even before the island of “Five Mile Beach” was glimpsed in 1609 by an explorer traveling with English navigator Henry Hudson, members of the Lenni Lenape tribe of Native Americans were cutting trails through the dense forest of what we now call the Wildwoods. It would be another 250 years before a few fishermen became the first white settlers, an an additional 25 years before seashore homes began to be constructed for a handful of privileged families.
