My wife and myself headed down to Wildwood Crest on Sunday 10/3 and although it was later in the year than our usual September trip due to family events we had a great time. The weather was beyond what we could have ever hoped for with temperatures averaging about 75. We hit Morey's Octoberfest for a while before checking into the Waikiki and it was a good time and the weather was perfect. I We walked the boards a couple of times during the week and there really wads,'t much open. I did grab a couple of slices from Franconi's they were actually pretty good and later in the week bought some fudge to take home from Douglass Fudge. We spent quite a bit of time relaxing on the beach and the sun deck at the Waikiki and just enjoyed the peace.and beauty. Several times we walked the seawall in North Wildwood as that has become a favorite spot in recent years. Among the restaurants we visited were the Harbor View between WW Crest and Cape May, the Boathouse, the Surfing Pig and Salty Mermaid in North WW and the Lobster House and C View Inn in Cape May which has the best wings I have ever had. One thing we noticed was a lot of businesses and motels especially closed earlier than normal for the season due to the pandemic. Some of the motels that were open had good crowds though including the Waikiki, Port Royal, Pan American, Reges, Shalimar and a few others. All the first floor rooms at the Waikiki were closed as the new owners began to renovate. All in all it was a great week!

Great report! My family was down there for a reunion that week and raved about the weather. I'm glad to hear they're working on the Waikiki...we stayed there in May and it was sad to see how much work it needed. I'm glad it'll be getting some TLC put back into it.
