NO FATSOs

I lived here for about 14 years, moved on an impulse to Surf City in the late 90s, hopped around on the island for several years, winter rentals, then got a year round rental on the bay. Miss it so much, sorry I ever left.

Good stuff! If you enjoyed this, Peter Slack has done two more specific documentaries on Island Heights and Mantoloking. Stay awesome!

And now it is a relative of Avalon, ridiculously expensive real estate, and no community. I was a resident for nearly 40 years and left, families can no longer live year 'round, they all go offshore to afford an actual home. You can romanticize all you want, the entire island has changed, hey, Jay sold Wonderland because he declared BK a few years go, and now it will become a big condo complex.

It was once a nice place.... NOT so much anymore..... SORRY ta say

My family had a summer home in the Villas for years. We went to the beach in Cape May, but our nights were spent in Wildwood. So many happy memories. Hunts pier was really something special - unique, one-of-a-kind rides and experiences that came pretty close to a disney-level at the time. The Jungle boat cruise, whacky shack, Golden Nugget and Pirate Ship were incredible. Morey's piers were thrilling and had really great rides for the day. I never realized just how old the Jack Rabbit coaster actually was until seeing this video. Wish that some of these things had been preserved like the motels, but it's still good to know that some of the things from those days have survived and are still thriving. Thanks for the vid and the memories.

AB•seh•kahn?? It’s ab•SEE•kin Shame on you

No mention of the schooner Lucy Evelyn beached behind Bay Village in Beach Haven. Lost to a fire in the winter.

My Brother-in-laws Father had a chance to buy much of Point Pleasant . He declined, and thought it was just worthless swamp land.

Growing up we had our beach house in Harvey Cedars. Nothing has compared since then.

80 % of my life was spent in Pt. Pleasant Beach and the Jersey Shore. Left in 2019. Great Memories !

New Jersey should be it's own country !

Love the series. However styrofoam boogie boards were not on the market in the 60’s. Invented in California in 1974.

Thank you, Well done and a definite must for not only for the shore people but also a great guide for all residents. Peace,Rocky

Imagine how SHOCKED the Victorians would be if they had to see today's "swimwear" for women - with their bottoms fully exposed! I often wonder how much time women and men in the 18th & 19th centuries wasted in putting on and taking off their elaborate clothing and accessories! And how hot they must have felt when the weather became suddenly warm!

It's sad they killed the shark too dude the deaths I understand but his victims wouldn't want revenge to happen to him. It's not the Shark's fault he was just hungry and needed to eat something his regular food was likely scarce and he was half starved and was desperate to eat something. At least the dog survived too.

So that Cape May hotel just randomly burned down? Wtf. Was it built out of plywood?

The place is no way what it was in the 70’s and 80’s. Bad crowd. And to be avoided, I agree.

Great video, thanks for sharing.

Great video..very factual. In the future u can use a less robotic voice to give tge video a bit of charm. Great Job

Hostile?? What do you expect those people to do when the British came to steal their land?

Sometimes we cut school and drove down for the days. As we got older, we drove there to the bars. When my kids were little, sometimes they missed school and we spent the day on the beach. Loved the action on the Boardwalk.

Spent all our summers down the shore. My grandparents rented a house usually Margate, Atlantic City or Wildwood. We lived in Watsontown. Great Memories.

Is there a place I can purchase a DVD copy of this?

Absolutely fabulous

Four months a year it was a very busy place, but I have strong memories of the other months of the year when you could walk on the boardwalk and see nobody ride your bike everywhere. All the stores and houses were boarded up. It was a ghost town in the winter months.
