We have been going to this book store for years......the owner has every type of book imaginable and can tell you where to find it in seconds. You can wander the aisles to find a new author or go right to the genre you are interested in. There is something for everyone here.....kids and young adults as well. You can often find the kids summer reading books here as well as new books for their beach reading. Is closed now for the winter, but look forward to seeing them next spring!

Some reviews say Wildwood is going downhill. From someone who visited it regularly while I lived in New Jersey, I can state the reverse. During the 70s and 80s, the area had a poor reputation. Today, it is poised for families instead of gangs of teenagers. This is regardless of the T-Shirt shops and other shlock areas. They exist everywhere. You can even find them in Estes Park, CO. It certainly didn't stop the stores from being crowded during a pandemic weekend. What makes this area wonderful is the beach. It's so wide that you can stay six feet apart without an issue and still be close to the water. And that's cool to your feet when the rest of the area is warm and humid.

I went here with my boyfriend. I got chocolate covered strawberries which were delicious. My boyfriend liked his chocolate chip fudge a lot. I also picked up some salt water taffy for my parents which they thoroughly enjoyed. I recommend them all. :)

This place is so amazing. The fudge was fresh and creamy. One of my son's favorite treats are the candied almonds. The owner, a nice gentleman, was extremely helpful in finding our perfect choice.
