The Wildwoods

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wildwoods are a group of five municipalities in Cape May County, New Jersey, all of which are situated on the Island of Five Mile Beach, a barrier island facing the Atlantic Ocean. These Jersey shore communities have relatively small year-round populations and swell significantly during the summer with vacationers.

While each community has its own independent government, and the five municipalities have no shared governance (other than Cape May County), the term is often used to refer collectively to the area.

The five communities from (south to north) are:

• Diamond Beach (2000 Census population of 218), a place in Lower Township
• Wildwood Crest (3,980)
• Wildwood (5,436)
• West Wildwood (448)
• North Wildwood (4,935)
