  • i was born and raised in the northeast. i just don't "get" the shore, especially wildwood. my parents always went to florida for the beach. they spent the same amount in 3 weeks that people spent in just a week down the shore -- including airfare -- in the later 70s and early 80s.

  • I've been to Florida beaches many times. They're pretty: the big birds, the white sand. But they're so tiny compared to Wildwood. If you want a cute, pretty little beach, Florida is fine. But for a huge, thrilling, exciting place (especially for a kid in the 60's), that's Wildwood!

    A person who doesn't like going to big, exciting places is not going to care for Wildwood. But for kids like I was, parks and amusement parks and things are fun, but the high point of any summer can only be Wildwood.

  • where did you find this footage?

  • They're home movies my father took with his 8mm film camera, back in the 1960's (probably sometime around 1967 or 1968).

  • Thanks,

    I remember summers in Wildwood in the late 60's and early 70's. Grandma and Grandpas resturants on the boardwalk, the Batmobile ride. Mr Softee icecream on the boards. Those were the days.

  • I'm 45 and I tell my kids all the time that every summer I spent on Magnolia Ave was the best time of my life. We didn"t have a pool,TV or AC at our apartment but we had the mile long beach, Nates hot dogs and Hunts pier.

  • @RickK1 I love wildwood, being going every year for 10 years as a tradition nothing matches to it.

  • I went to wildwood from 84 to 2003, my grandparents considered it their old fashioned getaway. They never had a TV, AC, etc. Outdoor shower, outdoor steps. 25th st. fond fond memories
