Wildwood has beautiful, white, safe, guarded beaches from about Memorial Day until Labor Day - 10 AM - 5:30 PM. These beaches are the widest at the Jersey shore. Where other beaches in South Jersey have a tendency to erode each year, Wildwood seems to be the recipient of their "lost" beaches. Best of all - there are no beach fees. No alcohol, barbeques or glass containers allowed on any of the beaches.

Besides sunning and bathing in the clean ocean water (chemists test the ocean water daily), you can walk and hunt for "Cape May Diamonds" - quartz stones that have been polished smooth by the changing tides. Beach access is restricted during the season from 10 pm to 6 am - May through September. You can rent beach chairs and umbrellas if you don't bring your own (in season only). The beaches in Wildwood are the widest on the coast and there is plenty of room to spread your beach towel and enjoy the lazy hazy days of summer

Parking on peak days can be somewhat trying, so try to arrive early, otherwise don't bring more than you can comfortably carry for a quarter-mile.

Warning - wear some type of beach shoes as the sand can become very, very hot, and the distance from the street to the ocean could really burn your feet.

There is handicap access to the beach. The Beach Patrol has sand wheelchairs at NO cost to you. They are on a first come first serve basis at the Taylor Avenue and Lincoln Avenue beach patrol buildings - 609.522.5852
