Wildwood in a soft blanket of fog today — the kind that makes the beach feel quiet, calm, and a little magical.

Down on the boardwalk, you could hear the hum of hammers and the buzz of prep work as crews kept pushing toward summer. Even in the mist, you can feel it coming — the rides warming up, the boards getting tuned, and that familiar Wildwood energy starting to build.

A foggy day at the shore still beats just about anything else, and watching the workers get everything ready is the perfect reminder: summer’s not far now.
