For me wintertime is time to dream about going to the beach. We would like to plan a summer beach vacation this year. There is nothing better to me than staying on the beach, strolling down the boardwalk, and dipping my toes into the water. Well maybe watching the kids tire themselves out splashing at a water park.
A resort town like Wildwood, New Jersey, has a lot of benefits to offer. The funky Do-Wop archetecture of the classic 50's style motels, the water parks and amusements of Morey's Pier, and the close proximity to New York city, make the Ocean City are a great pick for a summer vacation.
I have discovered that Morey's Pier is currently having their annual holiday sale. The sale runs until January 9, but by planning ahead you can saved nearly 40% on a Season Pass to both of the companies water parks. Wow - for people looking at a Jersey Shore beach vacation, or living in the area, that is a fantastic deal. The Morey's Pier season pass gets you access to two huge waterparks, countless events, and lots of special goodies as well. Here is the page for more info on the sale on season passes.
I personally love classic amusement parks, and Morey's pier is one of America's classic parks, with the "Great White" old wooden roller coaster, and other great Wildwood attractions and roller coasters. The DoWop style of Wildwood brings up memories of Cadillacs with fins, lollipop colored neon signs, and 50's Art Deco beach style architecture. Its a great slice of Americana, and the town has preserved that feel and is very proud of its unique style.
