The Pool Situation in Wildwood
Most mid-range and above hotels in Wildwood have outdoor pools. The question is quality — some are kidney-shaped 1970s holdovers, others are proper heated resort pools with shallow ends for kids.
What to Look For
- Heated pools — important for May/June and September visits when ocean temps are cold
- Pool hours — some close at 8pm, others run to 10pm. Night swimming matters if you have teens.
- Depth — confirm there's a shallow end for young kids
- Crowding — smaller hotels with pools can be more enjoyable than big resorts where 200 guests compete for pool chairs
