Staying near North Wildwood: five hotels five minutes down the island
North Wildwood and Wildwood share one island and one Boardwalk. Our five hotels sit in Wildwood, five to ten minutes by car from North Wildwood's Anglesea district, Hereford Inlet Lighthouse and the Irish Weekend grounds on Olde New Jersey Avenue, often at lower rates in peak season than the North Wildwood motels on a festival weekend.
What people come to North Wildwood for
- Irish Weekend (the Irish Fall Festival, late September): vendors on Olde New Jersey Avenue, the Sunday parade on Surf Avenue. Our Irish Weekend page has the schedule.
- Hereford Inlet Lighthouse and its gardens at the north end.
- Anglesea's bars and restaurants along Olde New Jersey Avenue.
- The Boardwalk's north end and the quieter beaches past 26th Street.
Why stay in Wildwood instead
Same beach, same Boardwalk, five minutes' drive, and parking at your hotel rather than hunting for it in Anglesea. On Irish Weekend that difference is the whole trip.
