The Shore
For families, Ocean City is the best. It's a dry town (no bars) and it's the quietiest if that's what your into. Wildwood is great because of the boardwalk but it's also known as "Childwood" because of all the underage parties and drinking. North Wildwood is where most of the clubs are and there's drinking at the Wildwood bars until 3am so needless to say, it's party all night. Wildwood Crest is on the otherside and it's mostly families there and loud noise isn't tolerated. If you do choose Wildwood, make sure you take the 15 minute ride to Cape May. It's so beautiful and there are great restaurants too. Cape May Point has the most beautiful sunsets ever and people come from all over to watch it. If you have teenage kids who surf, take them to "The Cove" which is at the end of Beach Ave in Cape May. All the kids surf and hangout at the Pavillion. The waves aren't the greatest. But there are always kids hanging out there socializing. It's a known spot among the teenage locals. IF you choose Wildwood, be prepared to walk a mile from the boardwalk to the beach. Wildwood beaches are free, but I don't like them at all. They are too far and the other choices are nicer. Good luck!
