Wildwood's beach closer to the attractions is fine, but I prefer the beach in Wildwood Crest. Either way, there's ample space as it's one of the largest beach areas I've ever visited. The walk from the boardwalk to the shore line is quite far. read more

Wildwood Beach - Beaches Near Me

Beautiful beach .. loved the clean sand and warm waters . Was fun to play by the beach and surf too. Beach is a good walk from the hotels and boardwalk. Parking is crazy and can get expensive . Luckily our hotel was close to beach and we just walked . Lots and lots of eateries and playing areas in the boardwalk closer to beach . wish they had more showers to clean ourselves . We just found a couple and it just had foot cleaners . We couldn't clean our heads and body and it just was a little disappointing ! Must visit place when you go to cape May. Good and clean beach .. 4 stars read more

Beach itself- its very nice! Clean, beachy in all the right ways- but 10pm closure too early. Boardwalk nice, lots of cool shops and places to eat and amusement park and all. Town though- oddly devoid of shopping, feels more like a suburb with far too many houses vs any kind of shopping or entertainment. The most un-beach like beach town ever. It seems designed to keep tourists 1-2 blocks by beach, rest of Town devoid of interest. We just drove to Cape May. Sticking to OC, Maryland and Gulf Coast of Florida point forward. read more

We actually go to the 24th Street beach which is in North Wildwood. Nice sand. Competent lifeguards and regular visits by the iced coffee vendor and the fudgy wudgy man. Well manner crowd. Get to know the tide schedule so you can sit near the surf. read more

If this isn't the reason you go to wildwood I don't know why you do? They clean/rake the beach every morning. We set up early and we've never had an issue with anyone. They have ice cream and drinks and there's plenty of room. read more

Beach is free so far as it should be ! So I love going to wildwood in the summer. Family friendly too

"The Jersey Shore"... If you're a politician in Trenton our beaches are the pixie dust you sprinkle into every conversation to justify the general dysfunction and the unrivaled cost of living far from the surf and sand. Personally, I'd rather not live inside a politician's snowglobe or a Springsteen lyric, thank you very much. Sure there's Cape May and Stone Harbor where a reasonably serene, high cost of entry beach experience can be had but when it comes to high density, sun worshipping, I'll take a stale zeppoli, crushing traffic and Wildwood for 10 Alex. The beach is "free" meaning it's not and you'll inevitably pay downstream through overcrowding and public amenities that will quickly make you regret powering down that 80 ounce Slurpee on your sojourn south. And if the Boardwalk is your thing have a blast trying to jam a 12-inch basketball through an 8-inch hoop. Go for it Shaq, I dare you. Wildwood. It's all the fun you can stand with a few hundred thousand of your closet friends. Who am I kidding, everyone comes whether they want to or not... it's in the pixie dust. Besides, civilization is way overrated. Three stale stars. read more

This is our go to beach for the summer. Lots of great food options along the boardwalk and tons of family friendly games at Morey's Pier. The sand is soft and fine. Beach tags aren't required unlike some other NJ beaches. You can ride your bike up until 1pm. The cons are that there aren't showers to rinse off the sand and it takes like 10-15 minutes from the boardwalk to get to the water. Be prepared to drag all of your stuff like half a mile through the sand. read more

Its very far from boardwalk... We were there on Labor Day weekend and day was not lucky for us. It was raining since morning and all we did stay in a hotel. We left for beach around 5 in the evening and decided to spend some time on boardwalk only. Beach is some 1/2 mile from the boardwalk and all I can see a long stretch of sand. I have never seen beach this far on the east coast. And I know this is not the case as sea water was not even reaching pier logs so I guess it is seasonal. I have also seen the board of beach movies on the beach but the water was clogged there, guess rain has spoiled everything. We spend some time walking on the beach. There was a wooden path till shore but we returned half way. read more

I could have sworn I reviewed Wildwood Beach in the past, but apparently not. If I had to pick my #1 beach in Jersey for a day trip, Wildwood would win the vote hands down. I know the town is far from perfect, but it's always welcoming to me and feels like my shore home after years of visiting in the summer. So, yes, you're gonna walk far to reach the ocean. Like, really far. So far they offer beach taxis for $3/adult. They also have porta potties halfway up to the boardwalk near makeshift walkways. I'd recommend avoiding them if you can. They smell. Generally the sand is pretty clean. I like visiting Wildwood Crest the most for extra space. Lifeguards stay on til 5:30 p.m. Oh. And it's free. I guess I should have said that first. read more

The beach is a great spot to come hangout with the family and enjoy the ocean on a hot summer day, but if you are coming down, park at pay the meter and beach out and 2nd Street Beach. It's nicer with the walk being closer and the ocean being close to. The meter parking is $2 hour. Definitely worth taking the trip hear.. On weekends parking fills up fast. So get hear early. They have a food cart most of the time where the guy sells hot dogs, preztels, soda, etc. And prices are not bad at all. They have bike parking to if you wish to drive you're bike down. read more

Very nice beach. Pretty fun boardwalk. Went for the 2018 4th of July. On the fourth the beach was busy but not annoyingly overcrowded. People came and went so the crowd volume stayed about the same. The day before the fourth, the beach was so empty and peaceful, I was shocked. If you are walking down the boardwalk, be sure to compare prices, there's really cheap hotdogs, burgers and pizza and some really expensive places too read more

The best beach on the eastern coast! Lots of space, nice views, and clean sand. Hope to return soon! read more

Said to be NJ's best beach, Wildwood's beach is very wide and long. You need to literally walk like 3-5 mins from the Boardwalk through the beach, in order to reach the water The sand is very soft, fine, which isn't particularly a good thing, because it easily gets anywhere - and I mean into your phone, for example. Great fireworks set on the beach for 4th of July and every Friday during the active summer season. A friendly tip: go in the mornings when it's calm and not overcrowded - have a good read, sunglasses and enjoy. read more

This beach is very nice and clean, also they have a long boardwalk and lots of entertainments and stores for you to shop. I was here last week for my trip and i think this is the only nicest place in nj so far that i know. By the way, if you plan to come to this beach, you shoul come after 3pm, cos if you come early than that, there is lots of store not open yet and the restaurant just served pizza only. Hope you like this beach, it really nicer than where i live. read more

Wildwood Beach - Beaches Near Me

A popular beach with the locals and vacationers alike, thanks to the nearby baordwalk, amusement rides and water park. Despite this beach's width (can take several minutes to walk from the boardwalk to the ocean), it usually gets pretty crowded during the summer months. Arrive early to claim your spot near the water and take advantage of the newly raked sand. Beaches are relatively clean. The long walk to the ocean may be a struggle for those with lots of beach gear and/or small children. Plenty of lifeguards. If youre not staying at a motel adjacent to the boardwalk, you may struggle to find parking, which will make your walk to the ocean even longer. read more

Always, always, always go to Wildwood Crest... Do not bother with the beaches of Wildwood itself... Evidence: my girlfriend and I took a late night walk on the beach in Wildwood on Memorial Day, right between the amusment piers. In a word: gross. Garbage absolutely everwhere. Clearly people use this area to get drunk, mess around, and carelessly dump their party rubbish. Wildwood Crest, the southern part of the isle, is where it's at. Less people, no boardwalk or piers to contend with, wider beach, and less refuse at every turn. Come enjoy the expansive sands and the crashing waves. read more

The Wildwood beaches are resort towns. Wildwood beaches are divided up into 3 areas. Wildwood, Wildwood Crest and North Wildwood. Wildwood is the one of the few free beaches at the Jersey shore. It is joined only by Atlantic city and a few other beach towns. They also have free fire works on Friday night's. It It is a part of Cape May county and is in South Jersey. It has a long board walk and really wide beach. It has the famous Morey Piers with rides and amusements. It attracts mainly people from South Jersey, PA, Canada and Deleware. Though people do vacation here from around the country it is not as popular as Cape May beach or some of the other resort towns. Because it is free it does tend to get crowded in the summer. One claim to fame of interest to me is it claims to have invented the Lime Rickey which I order whenever it is on the menu. Wildwood has had some renovation both on the board walk and in the town.It has a tram that takes you from end to end of the board walk. I have seen monster trucks on the beach so though the sand looks pretty it can't be too pristine. Rock Around the Clock was first performed by Bill Haley and the Comet's in Wildwood and the beach and town are full of history. It does have a board walk chapel with a summer gospel out reach but the rest of the town does not maintain the Christian vibe a few of the other shore towns do. It is not a dry town like Ocean city and Ocean Grove. It is still a little cleaner than Sea Side Heights and less wholesome than Ocean city. read more

Wildwood Beach - fire works at the shore - Beaches Near Me

Nice, wide beach with foot-comfortable sand from the dunes to thirty yards out. Also nice to find a beach where you don't need tags. Nothing sucks more than paying $20 for beach tags for one day, or digging through your beach bag - invariably in the middle of your lunch - that you've managed to keep sand-free until the beach tag girls asks you to produce the tags at the most inconvenient moment possible. So thanks, Wildwood Beach, for being the most chill beach in Southern Jersey. read more

The deepest beaches on the East Coast with gentle waves and warm surf. Not the best choice for surfers, perhaps, but great if you're coming to enjoy beach life or swim safely. And lined with a 2-mile-long Boardwalk with restaurants, shops, arcades, amusements parks, and more. It doesn't get any better! read more

Every Friday after July 4th, Wildwood does fireworks on the beach at 10pm. In the middle of the beach, between the two piers, there are a lot of people who come for the day with a huge amount of people. Yesterday's quote of the day was " Where's the rest of my kids at?" An hour later, this woman was smoking a blunt with three toddlers around her under the beach entrance to Raging Waters. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing time, don't go to that part, especially on a Saturday. Because the beach isn't responsible for it's clientele, Wildwood's beach is still ok in m book. Only 90 miles from Philadelphia, its a quick and easy way to get away for a few days from the oppressive heat. read more

Went here for the day with my boyfriend and my parents. Walking around the boardwalk was a great exercise. On the other hand for our first time experience going in each of the stores the staff were a bit pushy when we just got in. This meaning that we did not even get that much time to look around to find something that we liked. In one the stores a guy came up to us asking if we need help finding something. Next thing he had an attitude when we said "No we are just looking around." read more

Wildwood Beach - Wildwood beach is poppin' - Beaches Near Me

The beach itself is free and open from 6am to 10pm. There are plenty of lifeguards located along the shoreline so you don't have to worry while you're swimming in the ocean. At some beaches they allow inner tubes in the ocean. In the past Wildwood did not allow them, but this year there were people using them and the lifeguards did not blow their whistles at them. Dogs are allowed in certain parts of the beach. Plenty of umbrella, boogie board and chair rentals along the beach. There are also people who walk around selling ice cream and newspapers for beach goers. Waves never seem large enough for surfing, but are big enough for boogie boarding. I have spotted a few jellyfish during the past few days. Seems to get the busiest between 10am and 2pm. read more

Wildwood, North Wildwood and Wildwood Crest have a beautiful beach. Wide expanses with lots of room and fine, soft sand. They have lifeguards stationed close enough together that you can swim wherever you'd like (unlike some of the other beaches like Ocean City and Longport where the guards are only every few streets and people are herded together in front of them!) And to top off all this room and all those lifeguards, the Wildwood beaches are free to all. We love this place! read more

go to the north Wildwoood point beach. Very short and close to the water but clean and light sand.. Your family will never forget it

I love the Wildwoods! Nice and clean beaches. Exciting boardwalk. Very fun piers with excellent rides and a fun water park. The water park sells overpriced frozen drinks too but the rest of the boardwalk is dry. Its very family friendly. Sure its Jersey but its the best of the new Jersey beaches has to offer. I have been here before and will be going again. It's worth the extra drive down from sleezeside. I highly recommend it. read more

Best beaches out there. They're free and easily in walking distance from everything.

It's swamped during holiday weekends and festivals down this area but it's a huge beach and a great boardwalk for all ages
