objective review of Wildwood?

hi there,

my friend and i are considering spending some days at Wildwood this summer (i live in Colorado, she in NYC). we found an affordable place, in Wildwood Crest, i think, and just want to hang at the beach. I really do NOT know wildwood at all...Can someone tell me: Is it a nice place? Nice beach? Not too insanely touristy (we%26#39;d be there before schools let out)?

Thanks for any info/advice!! :)

objective review of Wildwood?

Wildwood Crest is fairly quiet, with nice restaurants. The Beach is very wide, so their is plenty of room. The water tempeture in June is a little chilly, as it has not had a chance to warm up yet. The air tempeture, will be the high 70%26#39;s to low 80%26#39;s depending on what period in june you go.. We usually go the second or third weekend in june. The 13th of june has the american legion parade, and the next weekend is the VFW. Besides Wildwood, Cape May is very nice with small shops and nice restaurants also. The Boardwalk is where the touristy part comes in, where there are numerous tee-shirt shops and amusement parks. Staying at the Crest, is the right choice for relaxing on the beach.
