Summer is officially here — and Wildwood is FULLY activated. Morey’s Piers is slammed, the waves are perfect, and even the grumpy boardwalk seagull is judging everyone who walked out of the ocean dry. Sandy, Liam, and their new friend (the world’s most skeptical seagull) have thoughts. Looking for a hotel in Wildwood NJ for the first weekend of summer? Sea Chest Motel is one block from the beach in Wildwood Crest — the go-to hotel near the Wildwood boardwalk for Jersey Shore families.
