About the 5th & the Bay Cam
This camera looks out over the back bay at 5th Avenue in North Wildwood — the northwest corner of the borough, where the bay opens up toward Hereford Inlet and the mainland sits across the water. It's a strikingly different view from any of the beach or boardwalk cams: calm, glassy water, the occasional boat or paddleboarder, and one of the best sunset angles on the island.
The bay side of the Wildwoods is much quieter than the ocean side. There's no boardwalk noise, no surf, and far fewer crowds — just a sleepy bayfront with a few marinas and a flood gauge that locals watch carefully during storms. The cam is mounted high enough to catch the full sweep of the bay.
If you're considering renting a paddleboard, kayak, or jet ski during your stay, this is the cam to check first. Provided by the City of North Wildwood through IPCamLive.
