Best Beach Town For A Classic Experience: Wildwood, New Jersey

If you’re looking for a classic beach town experience, look no further than the Wildwoods. This Jersey Shore town has a two-and-a-half-mile-long boardwalk filled with carnival games, shops, and food; combine that with free concerts and Friday-night fireworks and there's plenty of good old-fashioned fun to go around. Thrill rides light up the night after the sun goes down, and you can experience one of the tallest and fastest wooden coasters in the Northeast, the Great White. Don't forget to check out Family Fun Night every Thursday, when you can see parades, clowns, and stilt walkers along the boardwalk.
