The Wildwoods’ free beaches, named ‘Best Beaches in New Jersey’ by USAToday, offer plenty of room for a variety of summertime activities — everything from surfing to boogie-boarding to body surfing to tossing a Frisbee or playing Beach Volleyball to reading in the shade. There’s even dog beaches for your furry friends! The best part is they’re absolutely FREE for you to enjoy with no beach tags required. The Wildwoods’ Boardwalk offers 38 blocks of fun with over 100 rides and attractions. So Much Fun
Throughout the season, this five-mile stretch of powdery-white sand also hosts a number of events, including championship soccer, lacrosse and hockey tournaments, the National Marbles Championships, Monster Truck Races, Motocross Races, Sand Sculpting Festivals, headline concerts, the Wildwoods International Kite Festival and so much more. Enjoy our events, play in the sun, take a dip, read your favorite book, catch some zzz’s… do it all or nothing at all on the Wildwoods’ big beautiful free beaches!
