I just returned from another trip to the beach and it wouldn't be complete without stopping at Mariner's Arcade. The staff is super friendly and everyone was wearing masks. They put safety barriers between all of the games because of the Covid-19 virus. They strictly enforce that EVERYONE will wear a mask that MUST cover your nose and mouth at all times. The staff was cleaning everything and I felt comfortable there because of the safety precautions they have in place. The games are alof of fun to play and they have a great prize selection. Thanks Morey's for another great visit!

We have been going to this book store for years......the owner has every type of book imaginable and can tell you where to find it in seconds. You can wander the aisles to find a new author or go right to the genre you are interested in. There is something for everyone here.....kids and young adults as well. You can often find the kids summer reading books here as well as new books for their beach reading. Is closed now for the winter, but look forward to seeing them next spring!

Absolutely one of the cleanest, largest and most importantly free beaches in New Jersey. After spending time here you will not want to go anyplace else.
8. Wildwood Boardwalk

The Wildwood Boardwalk in New Jersey is miles of magic with 100s of rides and attractions. Free beaches and oceanfront waterparks.
Reviewed By richysk - Fort Collins, United States
Some reviews say Wildwood is going downhill. From someone who visited it regularly while I lived in New Jersey, I can state the reverse. During the 70s and 80s, the area had a poor reputation. Today, it is poised for families instead of gangs of teenagers. This is regardless of the T-Shirt shops and other shlock areas. They exist everywhere. You can even find them in Estes Park, CO. It certainly didn't stop the stores from being crowded during a pandemic weekend. What makes this area wonderful is the beach. It's so wide that you can stay six feet apart without an issue and still be close to the water. And that's cool to your feet when the rest of the area is warm and humid.

This water park is the best!! Clean, comfortable and outstanding supervision by the lifeguards!! Raging Waters is a deal... we try to go during the week days, so there aren’t too many people. Love the Lazy River! The children’s area is well maintained and supervised. There is plenty of table space for eating, and food prices aren’t out of sight. Restrooms are very clean and maintained. No visit to the shore is complete unless you visit Morey’s water park!
