Lovely
It was busy but not too busy. The water was a little cold but plenty of people were enjoying boating, boogie boarding, etc. Groups were able to spread out (it was a weekday). We stayed at a motel very close. There was some parking but it is best to walk if you can.

Not perfect, but still great
There’s really nothing like the Wildwood beach and it’s probably my favorite in NJ. It’s a free beach so nobody will be nagging you to buy beach tags like all the other NJ shore points. It is HUGE, so yes it’s a long long walk to the water, but the plus side is that there’s plenty of room for everyone. There’s a taxi service on the beach that can transport you if you or members or your group have difficulty with the long walk (sorry, don’t know the pricing). There’s good lifeguard coverage at the water. There’s plenty of places on the beach to rent umbrellas, chairs, boogie boards, etc. If you keep your eyes out, you’ll also see the ice cream sales people occasionally coming by to serve ice cream right on the beach. I believe there are a number of restaurants that you can order from and will deliver to the beach, but I have never used any of them yet. The only downside is that one some crowded days the beach can get a little littered. This is no fault of the city - there’s plenty of trash receptacles and they clean the beach daily. It’s more a reflection on some of the visitors. The upside is that you can always go a few blocks North or South on the beach if you don’t like what you see. And week days seem better in this regard than the weekends.
