Near Wildwood Crest, with the Boardwalk the Crest doesn't have
Wildwood Crest is the quiet, dry, family end of the island: wide beaches, no Boardwalk, no bars. Our five hotels are in Wildwood, five minutes north, which puts you a short walk from Morey's Piers and the Boardwalk while the Crest's beaches and the Sunset Lake bike path stay about five minutes away.
Crest by day, Boardwalk by night
- Sunset Lake and the Crest bike path in the morning.
- The widest beaches on the island, still free, in the afternoon.
- Back to Wildwood for the piers, the arcades and dinner on the Boardwalk.
Who should pick the Crest instead
If you want silence after 9 PM and never plan to set foot on the Boardwalk, a Crest motel is the right call. If the kids want the rides and you want to walk to them, stay with us.
