The [[List of boardwalks in the United States#Wildwood|Wildwood Boardwalk]] features several amusement parks, water parks, an aquarium, and shops, most notably three piers collectively known as [[Morey's Piers]]. Due to the distance of the ocean from the boardwalk, the beach is home to many sporting events, concerts, and [[monster truck]] rallies in view of the boardwalk. Wildwood is the tenth most popular boardwalk in the [[United States]]. A stage is set off to the side of the boardwalk near Mariner's Landing Pier where several performances are held throughout the summer.{{citation needed|date=February 2014}}

In 2008–2009, a section of the [[boardwalk (entertainment district)|boardwalk]] was rebuilt using [[Tabebuia|ipe]] tropical hardwood, even though the town had made a commitment to use domestic [[black locust]] as a more environmentally friendly option. The black locust wood shipped by the supplier was deemed unacceptable and the commissioners decided to use ipe wood to ensure that the project could be completed in time for the upcoming season.<ref>Suit, Lauren.

[[Boardwalk Chapel]] is a summertime Christian Gospel outreach on the boardwalk, sandwiched between a pizzeria and a gift shop.
