This made it Ok to hop seats from row to row, or to walk front-to-back of boat (or vice versa). Was a windy day, so the back of the boat was soaked!! Good fun on a hot day!! Dress casually in clothes that can get wet. Some wore bathing suits, and even bikinis! You could move to the front if you prefer less splashing. Saw lots of dolphins and we stopped and viewed them. Service was great, staff extremely friendly. Fun times!

PROS: this beach is very clean and does not have sketchy people on it. The waves are amazing…read morecompared to wildwood and stretches very far CONS: this beach costs $8 per person a day and there's no concessions on the beach. There's also no boardwalk or shops around on the southern portion of it OVERALL: not my first choice of a beach, but if you do some here you'll have an okay time. Just bring your own snacks and beverages

My GPS brought me to the Coast Guard training center nearby. I followed the road signs to the beach…read moreand stumbled upon my destination, Poverty Beach. Contrary to its name, Poverty Beach offers a sumptuous banquet of riches. From the free street parking on the day I came (Tuesday in July) to the clean bathrooms steps from its entrance to its friendly tag seller. I paid $8 for a day tag; it's $15 for three consecutive days and less daily for longer if you plan to beach it. Being a cape, it's very windy so I put my umbrella away. The waves are strong but there are lifeguards until five daily during the season, like now.

Reeds Beach is a couple of spots along the Reeds Beach road. Like Pierces Point, it has homes…read moresitting over the beach in some spots, so it can be hard to tell where public property ends and private property begins, but the very end of the road is designated parking for visitors (and by designated I mean along the road, but in a clear public space). At this dead end, there is a small body of beach, some large boulders with hand painted graffiti welcome signs, and a small pine barren park "forest" area. No picnic tables or restrooms or anything. Sunsets here are killer, but you need to face the bay and the northern edge as the dead end of the road here is facing north. Views north are very cool, and there is deep water docking to the right of the road there but it's 17 acres of private property (currently for sale at $1M). I visited all of these Middle Township beaches in one day and this is definitely more busy than the others, especially for its size. It a really cool spot and worth a look if only for a short visit. Like all of the small Middle Township bay beaches, this feels very remote and private. As with its neighbor beaches, you need to drive out through a stretch of marsh to get to it. There are homes on solid ground at the mouth of the road (by 47), and also as you get out at the beach, but the stretch in between is marshland. Marsh makes for great wildlife but also many bugs, so prep for that in warm months.

Fabulous beach 15 minutes away from the touristy Wildwood beach. You can enter it from anywhere…read more I'm just picking a spot to write the review. You decide the pros and cons for yourself. I'm going to provide a list and add a pinch of my under developed sardonic wit. 1. You don't have a boardwalk 2. You can't purchase food that will slowly clog your arteries and eventually kill you. 3. You can't throw away money playing stupid games 4. You don't have to walk a mile to get to the water. 5. You will have to share the beach with some birdies. 6. You will realize as you drive around town and when you get to the beach that the people and the homes seem uppity. 7. You would probably thank your stars that you found this quiet, sophisticated haven that is a change from other Jersey Shore fare. 8. And then some girls will walk up to you and ask if you have day tags. That's when you decide whether to cough up $6 per person for the privilege to stay or leave. If it is a good weather day and you are not a family of 10 (keep busy are we?!) stay!

And they only allow you to swim within a very narrow area in front of their stands- nowhere else, not even wading between stands! I was bodyboarding in the same area for about 45 minutes staying within the boundaries and next thing I know an aggressive lifeguard come over to tell me to move over closer to their stand and if I had done that I could have easily run into any number of small children wading in the shallow area where the waves were depositing me. This makes me not want to even go into the water, nor would I ever recommend this place to swim. I even had a whistle blown at me for wading up to my waist! A total buzz kill! Nope , we won't be returning here next summer! Not worth the aggravation

Wildwood Crest Beach hosts many families and everyone I encountered was friendly and gave you enough space for social distancing!

I was happy to see Wildwood Crest adapting to social distancing policies-I would return in the future!
