Cape May County Airport (WWD/KWWD) is a county-owned general aviation airport in Lower Township, New Jersey, serving Wildwood and the Cape May peninsula. Originally Naval Air Station Wildwood, a World War II dive-bomber training base, it retains historic hangars and hosts the NAS Wildwood Aviation Museum. Today it handles private and charter aircraft, flight training, and seasonal Jersey Shore traffic.
💡 Local Tip
Check the NAS Wildwood Aviation Museum's seasonal hours before visiting—it is inside a historic hangar on the field and makes a great stop even for non-flyers. Summer weekends bring heavier shore traffic, so allow extra time if you are driving to or from the airport.

WWD is about 10–15 minutes by car from Wildwood and Cape May via Route 9 and the Garden State Parkway. There is no direct public transit to the airport, so taxis, rideshares, and rental cars are the main options.
