Wildwood Crest, a borough in Cape May County, NJ, USA, was developed by Philip Baker back in the 1900s. It started out as the southern addition of a resort, Wildwood. It was later developed and was incorporated as a borough on April 6, 1910 by the New Jersey Legislature. Its beaches ranked second among the beaches in New Jersey in 2008.

Various activities are always offered in Wildwood Crest. Classes and group activities are organized by the city to cater to residents and tourists. The borough was once dotted with colorful motels but recent changes replaced the motels with modernized buildings such as condominiums, shops, restaurants, and hotels so that the place also changed from being summer retreats for middle class families to weekend retreats for wealthier families.

Attractions in Wildwood Crest include the Wildwood Crest Beach - considered to be among the best in the east coast -, Captain Sinn's Sightseeing Center, and the Wildwood Crest Historical Museum.
