During the off season this town has a population of barely 10,000 people, however during the Summer vacation months Wildwood boasts over 250,000 individuals! One of the most popular aspects that draws tourists to the city is the two mile long boardwalk. The boardwalk stretches 37 city blocks and contains six roller coasters, two water parks and a seemingly infinite number of family activities.
