We stay in Wildwood Crest but in walking distance to the
boardwalk so the teenagers can walk there.
In my opinion the beach is much nicer
in Wildwood, much more room for laying out especially if you have a lot of baby gear. Whenever we go to Ocean City we end up having to step over people on the beach to get our little bit of sand. Word of warning...Wildwood proper is a little seedy and the boardwalk has a carnival atmosphere. If you go to Wildwood stay in the Crest.
