Five miles of free beaches, over 160 events and festivals and two and a half miles of over 100 rides and attractions — just some of the reasons the Wildwoods were recognized by NASDAQ’s GoBanking Rates financial publication as one of the 5 Most Affordable Beach Trips on the East Coast in 2025.
In fact, the Wildwoods were the only New Jersey destination to be featured on the list which showcases destinations offering both value and memorable experiences.
“This distinction highlights what makes our destination truly special — five miles of beautiful, FREE beaches with a vibrant mix of attractions. Whether you’re seeking family-friendly fun, exciting nightlife or a peaceful retreat, The Wildwoods deliver an unforgettable experience. We’re especially proud to be the only New Jersey destination included on this list,” Louis Belasco, Greater Wildwoods Tourism Improvement and Development Authority executive director said.
From vibrant nightlife to tranquil getaways, Belasco said the Wildwoods offer something for every traveler.
it’s the reason the famous Wildwoods Boardwalk was recently included in USA Today’s 10Best Reader’s Choice Contest, being ranked as the #1 Best Boardwalk in the USA in 2025. Not to mention the Wildwoods are also currently nominated in 2025 USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Contest in the category of ‘Best Beaches in New Jersey’ for the second year in a row. Last year, the Wildwoods won the contest being named the Best Beach in New Jersey for 2024.
Year after year, the Wildwoods’ FREE beaches and action-packed boardwalk add to the historic, quaint charm of the island, bringing visitors back for generations, and creating an affordable, memorable vacation destination unlike any other.
