DESTINATION

Wildwood Crest

There's no boardwalk in town, although a bicycle trail edges the beach. Two-wheelers can be rented from DR Bradley Bikes at Ocean Avenue and Rambler Road, phone (609) 729-1444; and from Crest Bike Rental, 500 E. Heather Rd., phone (609) 522-5763. The offshore waters are home to a large population of bottlenose dolphins; the best way to glimpse them is aboard a sightseeing cruise.

The entire Wildwood resort area is known for its “Doo Wop” architecture, a style popular in the 1950s that is defined by brightly painted, angular buildings, boomerang-shaped roofs, funky neon signs, and futuristic space-age decorative details. A 20-block stretch of Ocean Avenue in Wildwood Crest has a large concentration of Doo Wop-style motels. For information about educational programs and materials, contact the Doo Wop Preservation League; phone (609) 729-4000.
