Cape May County Must See Landmark - Atlantus

In a nation that prides itself on its victories, remembering failures is not as easy to come by.

Sites like the concrete ship Atlantus, locaed just off Cape May Point, offer a different perspective on history. Suffering from a short supply of steel and iron during World War 1, U.S. officals sought to solve the drought by building ships with concrete moulds. Shortly after a fleet of 14 concrete ships was built by the U.S. governmentthe plan was deemed a failure and the ships were sent to their graves at the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia.

The larger heap of concrete was later moved to its current location. The site has prompted many to raise their cameras to capture the broken hopes of indstrious Americans and the unlikely beauty of the hull peeking out of the choppy waters at sunset.

You can see Atlantus off Sunset Beach in Cape May.

North Wildwood Italian-American Festival

The festival, now running for 13 straight years, is a celebration of Italian culture and food. The annual Italian-American Fesitval is something you can hear and smell from blocks away.

You don't have to be Italian to enjoy this festival. All you need is an appreciation of what Italians do best: good entertainment and great food.

The festival began Friday and will end on Sunday at 4 p.m. It takes place on Olde New Jersey Avenue in North Wildwood. So come to North Wildwood and enjoy the beach and food this weekend.

Enjoy the Summer Weather Watch a Big Screen Movie on the Beach

Since the summer of 2005 many family have been going down to the Wildwood beach at night. Their not going to just walk in the cooled off sand or ocean either. These people are going to watch a full cinema style outdoor movie. Based on the older drive up outdoor movie theater, the Sunset Cinema company has been displaying movies every night on their huge blow up movie screen.

This movie watching experience is great for the family or if it just a couple of friends, I highly recommend putting this on your list of things to do when visiting Wildwood. It is one of the rare places that you can actually experience this, Sunset Cinema also has a beach theater in Miami. Pricing of tickets are also less then most of the indoor theaters.
