The Wildwood boardwalk runs for nearly two miles along the beach, lined with arcades, custard stands, T-shirt shops, and the entrances to three amusement piers. It is wider and busier than most Jersey Shore boardwalks, and in midsummer the evening crowd is dense enough that you walk at the pace of the slowest stroller in front of you. That is part of the point.
The yellow-and-blue Sightseer Tramcars trundle the length of the boards from Memorial Day through October, with a recorded voice repeating "Watch the tramcar, please" so often that it has become one of the most parodied sounds at the Jersey Shore. Funnel cake, salt water taffy from Laura's or Douglass, and pork roll sandwiches are the standard fuel.
