WILDWOOD – The city’s beach, boardwalk and attractions placed Wildwood on the list of top 10 beach towns worldwide, according to a June 26 release from the city. According to the website The Daily Meal, Wildwood beach’s “proximity to attractions like the boardwalk and the beachfront amusement park, which makes for a very picturesque backdrop, make it a shoo-in for our list.”

Mayor Ernie Troiano said the latest accolade proves the city is doing something right, adding that the city is always rated high on Tripadvisor.com as well.

Adding to the international flair, said the Daily Meal, are the city’s clubs and bars.

“There are more than 100 rides and three beachfront water parks to trigger your endorphins,” said The Daily Meal, a website covering food and drink topics, noting “outdoor activities like fishing and volleyball are made easy with rentals and courts right on the beach.”

The list of top beach towns spans the globe. Beaches in Spain, Thailand, India and Brazil joined Wildwood as tops in the world.

“More people are starting to discover what Wildwood has to offer,” Troiano said. “This city is a world-class vacation destination. We remain committed to bringing even more reasons to come and enjoy Wildwood.”
