There are mats to walk on halfway down the beach, and this year there are little shower stands near the street that are perfect for rinsing off before leaving the beach. One of the greatest things about North Wildwood beaches is that you don't need beach passes! (Perfect for visiting for the day) The beach is also smoking free, which most people comply with.

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.

Wildwood Crest Beach hosts many families and everyone I encountered was friendly and gave you enough space for social distancing! The beach is well maintained for the traffic they receive during peak summer months! Many lifeguards on duty and at night the police patrol the beaches to make sure those walking around feel secure! I was happy to see Wildwood Crest adapting to social distancing policies-I would return in the future!

We ended up going to the bay at the villas, Nj and it's such a great spot to go with family…read more My parents have a house nearby so this is our go to- to avoid the hustle and bustle, the noise and the crowds of tourists coming through to visit. On our most recent trip we came on Labor Day weekend- which I won't do again- it was mobbed with people- which is not my thing. I get anxiety being in crowds- so the boardwalk was a bit of a mess and panic for me. When we came to the bay- it was something totally different. Way less people- still the same amount of fun. Soft sand, easy to make sand castles with my daughter. Seagulls to feed endless popcorn too. Just a time to take in some cool breeze from the waves and enjoy the sounds that come along with it. The bay is the way to go for someone like me who isn't much of a crowd person. My daughter seemed to enjoy it also.

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!

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!
