Exactly how I remember the Wildwood boardwalk 😢

Such a precious moment in time. The boardwalk late 80's / early 90s at Wildwood is where my soul is and forever shall be! 🤓❤️ thank you for the sweet memories!

Thanks for sharing this memory.  My wife and I owned a home in North Wildwood from 1990 through 2004.  Little Nicky's while on our way home from the beach.  People watching abnd ice cream in the evenings.  It was a wonderful time.

That brought back a lot of memories especially Hunt’s Pier, where we had to go on every ride like twice a night when we were there!

This is truly magic, an amazing time capsule Bill. Thank you so much for sharing. Can't wait to see more footage. You've been doing great trip reports/observations for decades now!

Thanks for posting. My parents used to take us there in the 80’s. Brings back memories. It was a better place then.

Being able to see Dante's Inferno again after all of these years. ...you made my day!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

The time before the internet, personal computers, and mobile phones.  The good old days!

Came here for a mind cleansing after watching a 2025 walk on that same boardwalk!  Now THIS is how it was for me as a kid coming up and visiting from Ocean County!

My favorite Wildwood lived about ten years later, in the late 90s. My Dad took me after I recovered from cancer, and I've been keeping it alive the best I can ever since, going almost every summer.

One of the biggest hits of 1988 can be heard on Morey’s Pier here, Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley. I heard it a lot on the radio then and the later singles Together Forever and Strong Strong Man also 1988.

I was there that summer and was 17 years old. I remember all those things on the boardwalk and across the street from the big building by the Funcade is where we stayed called Sans Souci. Some of the best times of my life.

This brings back so many memories.  Loved the Mountain Magic Leather Shop.

I started going there with my parents and sister in the late 70s as a small child. We stayed at the concad’or and bal harbor. What a wonderful time to be alive. I spent my days in the pool and arcade and my nights at the boardwalk. My father loved Ed Zaberers. We would always go during the last week of July into august. How magical it was to arrive in wildwood after a six hour drive and cross the bridge. The first thing we saw to indicate we were arriving in vacationland was uries reef and beef on the right and shortly after we would start to see boardwalk. It was always hot and sunny when we were there. I miss those times so much.

Back when, the Wildwood boardwalk was interesting, and had diversity. Back when all the piers weren't all owned, by one family, with 'one track'($), ideas😒.

Holy Cow! You filmed me and my girlfriend, Carolyn at 8:37! So cool to see that!!! I haven’t seen her since 1990! I certainly didn’t expect that! (I carried that stuffed animal for over an hour!)😂

Amazing! I could watch this all day

The year i was born, i have been going to wildwood every Labor Day week since 1988, exactly what it was like when i was a kid

Bill, thank you sir! I have sooo many memories from being a kid and visiting Wildwood over the summer school break. Nothing more exciting than helping my Dad to pack up the station wagon and we'd go to the shore for a week with other families from my Philly neighborhood! I still remember the salt air, taffy, and skee-ball arcades!

My grandmother loved the Grand Smorgasbord.  I swear that is my mom at 11:40.  It looked just like her.
