🍽️ Food & Drink Tips for Wildwood
- •Festival food vendors are mostly cash-friendly but lines at the ATM get long — bring cash for faster ordering.
- •Go hungry but pace yourself: tasting-style events reward sampling small portions at many stands over filling up at the first one.
- •Wine and beer festivals at the shore usually require ID at the gate regardless of age, and many issue tasting wristbands you'll need for every pour.
- •Parking in Wildwood: Free street parking available away from boardwalk. Paid lots near boardwalk $10-25/day.
